It Slices, It Dices: Ex Libris Bookshelf and Table In One
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 02. 8.08
Taking inspiration from its own Ptolomeo and Ptolomeo Wall book shelf designs (pictures below the fold), the Italian designers at MOCO have applied the same space-saving, hidden shelving ethic to "Ex Libris," the table whose legs double as book storage. A great companion to Bookinist and Bibliochaise -- two chairs with a similar goal of combining seating and storage -- Ex Libris was unveiled last month at Maison & Objet in France.
We'll add this to the list of best small space shelving solutions. And it might just be the smartest table we've ever seen. ::MOCO via ::Freshome and ::Trendhunter
I don't like the looks of the table, but I love the idea of dual use furniture.
Smart furniture and storage is a good solution to living in small spaces, and saves energy due to smaller sized living quarters.
