This creative shelving unit gives the illusion of a three dimensional sphere but is actually flat. The Mini Warp Bookshelf by Onur Müştak Çobanlı is a functional piece of art that seems like it would be better suited for an exhibition than to be displayed and used in one’s home.
The Mini Warp Bookshelf is created from thermo molded acrylic. The designer believes that it is also possible to recreate in metal. It measures 150cm x 25cm x 150cm and comes in a slightly larger size as well.
