Tangram Shelving Solution
I've been obsessing over bookshelves lately. I spent part of my weekend in a library just to admire their shelves (and to discuss possible Harry Potter conspiracy theories). This particular shelving system called the Tangram by LAGO design studio injects a nice dose of humor in what is an otherwise standardized design. The systems comes in triads and shadow boxes to leave you free to create whatever you like. I found the above image amusing.
I can't read Italian so if any of you do, HOLLA at me.

I remember a game called "Tangram" from my childhood. Its a chinese one. Your job is to puzzle some triades and boxes together to figures like people, houses or whatelse you want.
Nice idea to do some bookshelves out of the ancient concept. Need to get these

I'm doing it! My girlfriend and I are moving in together next week, and this is something I really want to have. Why didn't I think of that?
