Flexible wood bookshelf bends to accommodate its contents [pictures & video]
A concept piece from designer Natascha Harra-Frischkorn…
Here are a few shots of the idea as it was being imagined and perfected…
Some pics of the finished product…
And, finally, here it is in action…

I like the “thinking out of the box” but does this really have much advantage over a regular shelf?
Very cool design though, and again, I love the innovation. Maybe it will spark another idea of some sort that is even better.
Well, if you needed to store it, it stores easily and doesn’t take up much space, which is important for say, city living. And I suppose it wouldn’t take up much space in transport, which is pretty environmentally friendly, but other than that, I’d say it wouldn’t have tons of advantages.
what a stupid design. Oh, is it artful?
Why do I imagine this just squeezing all the stuff and shooting it out onto the floor? LOL
Guys.
It’s pretty. It’s functional. Just be happy.
My bookshelves are piled high. Don’t think it would work for me. But it does look interesting. If you had this, you’d have to find “interesting” books to display too.
I love it! I especially like the red. I live in a small space and am challenged about how to display books. I think that this could be a great solution.
Another example of form over function. It may be decorative, but what a lousy way to shelve books! It would very likely damage the covers of any books kept in it for long, thanks to the uneven pressure placed on them.
If this were offered for sale, it would probably be outrageously expensive. I’d get a more useful bookshelf spending $30 at Ikea.
