This bookshelf makes it look like your books are floating on air. I liked the look, but was suspicious that it might not be very usable... I bought one, tested it out, and now I have bought 4 more. (via Boing Boing)

Love the minimalistic appeal to this. I'm in the middle of redesigning and redecorating my whole place from ceilings to floors and I do have to admit that I'm a collector of books. I collect old, rare and antique books as well as, harder to find one-off older beatnik writers and very rare French erotica collections. I like to include them in my decorating but, I don't like the look of just a plain old bookshelf against a wall. It doesn't really do the hard work of my finds much justice.
And if I can't find something that's supposed to serve a purpose as something else and make it into another then, I want something simplistic and clean and as gorgeous as this.
Just perfect! (via Umbra Conceal Bookshelf)

This is so Cool!

I recommend buying 10. I have 1 and it looks weird.

I love these floating bookshelves! They can double as wall art! You will need to own more than one book, however.

Handy, and great for rooms with limited floor space, such as dorms.

great

Those geniuses at Umbra have perfected this idea. The books floating in the middle of the wall is creative and arty, and it saves me so much floorspace I will never ever have to consider getting rid of a book again!! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!!!!
