The Custom Stacked Book Side Table Works Around the Built-In Literature
Meghan Young — April 26, 2011 — Art & Design
The Custom Stacked Book Side Table may look like it has the spine of books painted on its surface, but in fact, those are actual novels slotted into its design. Considering how smooth and seamless the design looks, I wouldn't be surprised if you were mistaken at first -- I know I was.
Designed by Jane Dandy from San Francisco, the Custom Stacked Book Side Table is made to order. Basically, you send Dandy the books that you want to have included in the design, and she works around their unique dimensions.
The Custom Stacked Book Side Table pictured above was made for Dandy herself and captures a moment in her life. The books are about architecture and and pertain to the years she spent studying architecture in the San Francisco Bay area.
