Designer David Garcia's Archive bookshelf collection is a detailed look into the relationship between space and books. Garcia asks the question, "How can an individual travel with its own library?" With that, the nomadic Archive bookshelf collection was born.
The Archive II is a circular transportation system and library combination. It was inspired by Eastern traveling libraries that existed in ancient times. Archive I is a weight balanced bookcase with books on one end and a reader's chair on the other.
