This floating bookshelf can add a whimsical appeal to nearly any room, while serving as a convenient means of storage.
The shelf is both user-friendly and unconventional, standing as a source of intrigue that combats standard notions of the mundane bedroom staple. The two part, wall-hung fixture contains a wooden piece which protrudes from under the books, while a slightly smaller metal piece, hides under the books, still offering support. The result creates the illusion that the books are floating in mid-air. Available in light and dark renditions, this gorgeous shelf complements any modern home's interior, serves as a conversation starter, and elicits wonder and curiosity.
Alternatively, the wooden component is sturdy enough to be used as a bedside table, offering a furniture piece with a dreamy aesthetic.
