The Gravity Bookshelf
The Gravity Bookshelf is a piece of furniture with a design that you’ll love or hate, but either way you can’t deny its inherent practicality. By bending the plywood shelves so they appear to be coming out of the floor, designer Leo Kempf ensured that any books (or, say, DVDs) that you put on it won’t fall over, with no need for any bookends. Kempf also designed the shelf to be easy to assemble, sliding the plywood shelves into slots on the hardwood main beam. Nice thinking, Leo.
The first thing that pops into my head when I see this is “Cool!” how practical it turns out to be is unknown. It seems like it’d take up a good deal of space and there isn’t that much room to place things on it. Of course, it probably would go in the middle of the room and not against a wall. Very cool idea and design; practical or not.
