Real Wood Modular Sectional Narrow Bookshelf With 6 Shelves Magazine

Try to think of the word “bookshelf” and focus on the first image that comes to mind. Surely it is a beautiful parallelepiped, with a base about one third of the height, 4 or 5 well distributed shelves, simple but well structured, like the MAGAZINE bookcase, right? This is the bookcase that can satisfy the greatest number of people thanks to the linear design and a space-saving structure that is very spacious and perfectly fulfills its task by conforming itself without too many problems to any type of environment.
The modern bookshelf

Modern Bookcase In Wood And White Lacquered With Open Compartments And Sliding Drawers For Living Room And Office Aurora

As mentioned above, each retailer now offers its own line of bookcases, models with very different structures, colors and manufacturing materials. Over the years, bookcase designs have changed and the conventional structure of the past has often been modeled in more modern shapes. A palpable example of this radical change is the LUDO Modern Bookcase: it is simply a bookcase without a back, sitting on 4 comfortable wheels and with a sliding door placed in the center of the structure. Any designer can now give free rein to their creativity by designing shapes, dimensions and unique profiles in order to meet the increasingly demanding needs of the clientele.
Tall or short bookcases

Tall Narrow Grey Wood Booksheld With 6 Shelves Big Ben

1) Tall: This category obviously refers to all those bookshelves that, unlike the more classic ones on the market, they have been designed to make the most out of the vertical space while featuring a small footprint, allowing more space for movement inside the rooms. This theory follows the structure of skyscrapers that were had to develop in height to be able to “slip” into even the narrowest spaces of large cities, maximizing volume for base space. An excellent example is the BIG BEN bookcase which is inspired by one of the most famous tourist attractions in the world, namely the very tall clock tower of London.
2) Short: Low bookcases are generally very compact, with a height of about 1.10 / 1.20 cm and small dimensions, easy to move and overall not very spacious. However, there are some low libraries that they develop in width, useful for those who have a lot of horizontal space; these can be often used as shelves on which to place your TV or other decorations.
Bookshelf with doors

Bookshelves with sliding doors
