The “Avid Reader Wall Clock” is available on CafePress.

Whenever you’re asked what time it is, it’s always time to read. How much better than that can you get?!

Why dangerous? If I sat in a chair that put so many books at my finger (and toe) tips, I might never get up again… This ‘Bibliochaise’ was designed by nobody&co. They also do a great bookshelf, ‘Piola’:

This staircase / bookcase is quite lovely.

During one of my random internet searches, came across this interesting site for a design company that focuses on environmental and social goals and they had a great use for some old, used books that were headed for the dump – a bar!  It’s amazing how they pieced it together without using fasteners or even glue.  You really need to see it for yourself!

Now maybe I should get myself a copy of Recycle: Make Your Own Eco-Friendly and Creative Designs – Over 60 Projects for Home & Garden and have a go at making something myself!

Nobody & Co. have designed the Bibliochaise, a chair shelf fusion piece of furniture. Curious.
