Infinity Bookcase Stores Finite Amount of Books, Is Infinitely Cool Anyway

9:40AM Jesus Diaz | This Infinity Bookcase is almost as cool as the amazing stairs bookcase that made me want to move to London*. Created by Dutch artist Job Koelewijn, it is supposed to represent the power of learning, or the infinite number of books that you are never going to read, or something like that. Whatever. Definitely a solid #2 in the Gizmodo’s Fetish Bookcase Ranking. [Knaw via Neatorama] More »

StairCASE’s Bottom Shelves Keep Highest Books in Reach

12:30PM Gizmodo US Edition | It’s no surprise that a dude who lives in a city of 18 million people would appreciate the need to conserve space. Shanghai-based artist Danny Kuo created the StairCASE, a bookcase where the shelves slide out to become a stairwell. We’ve seen the amalgamation of shelves and stairs before in London, but StairCASE can be put just about anywhere. The design lets you have a much taller bookshelf (most top out at roughly six feet to accommodate human height), or functions as a way to reach a lofted area for sleeping or storage. I could’ve used something like this in New York. [Danny Kuo via Craziest Gadgets] More »
