Acrobatic Hip Hop Shelves

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Place Your Books on the Spanky Line of Bookshelves

— May 12, 2014 — Eco
Ready to bust a move, the Spanky series of bookcases are a hip new take on a traditional piece of home furnishing.

Designed in the shape of a person, Spanky shelves come in three different poses and a variety of different colors. Each angular bend of the shelf’s limbs provides a different spot for you to place your objects. The Spanky line of shelves are made by Kubedesign out of cardboard and offer a unique, beautiful, and environmentally sustainable way to store your books, CDs, and DVDs.

If you’re short on space but heavy on items, you can always stack your Spanky shelves for an even more eye-catching effect. Whether you opt to display the Spanky Spaccata, Spanky Breakdance, or original Spanky media shelf in your home, your guests are sure to flip for these b-boy-inspired shelves.
