Designer bookshelves from books
What fate awaits old and unnecessary books?which, moreover, do not represent any particular historical or artistic value? Dusty library shelves or complete reworking. Designer Jim Rosenau believes that such books can and should continue to please their owners. He makes unique bookshelves from books!
There is a slight reversal of roles - the old onesbooks become shelves for other, new books. Assembled in an original way and combined with other items, such bookshelves made of books will become an interesting thematic decoration of any interior and will perfectly fit into the decor of a home library, work corner or classic living room.
Sometimes the sequence of titles on the spinesbooks tell their own story, while in other cases a common aesthetic theme connects the components of the bookshelf - the color, contrast, width of the books give a special style and character. The very term "bookshelf" thus acquires a new additional meaning - a shelf for books and of books!
In some cases, when creating cabinets, shelves andIn other crafts, the designer uses whole books, that is, with pages inside, but for supporting structures and functional parts, only hard book bindings are used, which disguise the wooden board inside.
The collection of transformed books was namedThis Into That, which includes not only bookshelves made from books, but also full-fledged racks, cabinets, hangers, tables, various gifts and souvenirs!
All interior items made from books are very durable andcan withstand the weight of a multi-volume encyclopedia. Of course, book covers are not easy to repair, so you need to treat such shelves with care. For cleaning, it is better to use a vacuum cleaner or a dry cloth, or at most a slightly damp one. Shelves should be protected from water and direct sunlight, which will fade any cover. And, of course, you can try to make such a shelf from books or their spines with your own hands! For example, from 65 volumes of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, Capital or the works of Marxism-Leninism, you can make a full-fledged cabinet - a wall not only for books!
