Chilean deisgner Manuel Rossel has created a line of bike furniture that goes beyond mere storage to become pieces people will love to put on display. His bike furniture essentially incorporates book shelves to make them doubly useful. Yet somehow the designer has managed to create designs that are not only useful, but beautiful as well.
By focusing more on the book shelf element of the bike furniture, the fact that they're topped with bikes is almost negligible. Made with designer bicycles in mind, the designs put them on a pedestal. For people who live in seasonal climates, it's particularly important to have bike furniture that will not become an increasing eyesore over time. Available in a variety of models, the collection is great for small spaces.
