The Dutch designers at Atelier 010 have created the Bookworm bookcase.

Description from Atelier 010
Bookworm is the sculptural answer to a commission to design and produce an organic bookcase. Due to the curved shape, the case also offers a place to sit and relax.
The self-supporting shape consists of three parts, which are assembled on site and kept upright by a stainless steel foot in the sidewall. Bending thin layers of MDF and plywood across custom-made molds creates the curved shape. The outsides of the walls are spray-painted in colour, whilst the insides are fresh in white. A light bulb dangling from the top of the worm gives light to the reader’s eyes.

Brilliant design and such cheerful colors! And besides sitting one could also lie in there and put the feet up on the other curve – what a relaxing place to read in.

Let’s see Ikea get that sucker in a flatpack.
Love it but trying to figure out how it gets transported by anything but a very big truck.

It is really a cool thing but I am wondering whether it goes in one piece or is it assembled at buyer’s home?
