Animal-inspired projects always turn out to be so whimsical and cute. There’s something distinct about every animal that makes it recognizable and lovable. The Book Porcupine bookshelf plays on exactly what you think it does: the quills of a porcupine.
The bookcase is designed with individual slots for between 1-5 books (depending on thickness, probably 3). When the books are in their particular positions, it is natural (due to the design) that the tops of the books would stick out just like a porcupine’s quills.
I absolutely love it!
