In Malaysia, bookshelves are just plain bookshelves. But on the World Wide Web, you can find creative, ingenious interpretations of this piece of furniture.

Want to show off books on the shelves but keep them away from dust at the same time? This is a nice compromise of the two criteria.

Want a bookshelf that makes a (rather obvious but cool nonetheless) statement? Swipe this idea.

Want a bookshelf with a hidden message? This is just plain awesome to me.

A bookshelf that doubles up as a portable workspace. Great idea but I have a feeling those books will come tumbling down if you tried to move the furniture.

Hey there, you’re back with more quirky stuff to show the reading world!
I like the second one though (READ).
nylusmilk: lol, i try to post once a month nowadays. i like that it’s a functional piece with a statement but the books may get bent out of shape if you really use it as a bookshelf. not for me and my precious books haha.

As usual, you find the MOST interested book related items! I like the book-door one (I’d have to get a bigger house) haha, and agree with you about the desk. Nice idea but…
Happy reading
nylusmilk: thanks for dropping by. i’ve missed you.
