Sang Hoon Kim Warps the Regular Perception of a Bookcase
Andrew Robichaud — July 28, 2009 — Art & Design
I love wonky and wacky things that can add an ounce of cheer (or confusion) to a room. Sang Hoon Kim’s very interestingly designed bookcases are exactly what I’m talking about.
These warped bookshelves are curved beyond sensibility but still maintain a good home decor feel and they most definitely serve their purpose. The cool thing is that the shelves aren’t made to lean flat against a wall but they’re driven towards being the eclectic centre piece in the room.
I’m really more curious as to how much space is wasted due to the fact that the books aren’t the same shape as the shelf, but hey, I’ll take it anyways.
