The Book Porcupine by Holly Palmer
British designer Holly Palmer has sent us photos of her Book Porcupine.
With 18 compartments in various sizes for storing your favourite books, the Book Porcupine is a product that is based on the idea of negative spaces. The compartments are the books negative representations made permanent in the structure of the unit. Designed to sit beside a standard chair, the name of the piece is given in reference to its silhouette – the short, stout legs against the books sticking out at various angles and degrees. Good for flats or smaller homes as an alternative book shelf.

nice! The flaw (if one can call it that) is that searching for a book in the structure will mean looking all around and at odd angles to read the names.
It still works for me!!!!
