Square- or rectangular-shaped storage pieces make the most use of available space - and especially in furniture, you seldom see round storage pieces. But they certainly do exist!
The piece above, the Kartell Componibili, could have been included in my posts about colorful storage, or modular storage. You can find it at Nest and Unica Home - both of which are running sales right now. It comes in white, silver and black in addition to the red.
Another eye-catching piece is the Nureyev from Linteloo, available from Limn and Chaplins Furniture (and others).
And then there's the striking Orbit, from Bonaldo, which has a swivel base option; one place to find it is Panik Design. [via Outblush]
Coming back down in height, Smart Furniture provides a round display silo.
And Bramble has a short, round bookcase.
Finally, there's this round bookcase sold by Levenger.
Interesting, not really my style though - somewhat to different for me. But, I do like the wood tones and probably could get used to that bookcase. I also like the idea that because the pieces are round they don't have to be used right up against a wall and will give the room a whole different effect.
ReplyDeleteOnlinehandyman, it's fun to explore ideas that are a bit unusual (and not our usual style), isn't it?
ReplyDeleteJeri, I always love all the resources you come up with! So much work. You're the best.
ReplyDeleteBut, weirdly, I have a think about round bookcases. They seem "squidgy" to me. Untrustworthy in some way. Is that weird?
PenelopeLovesLists: No, not weird at all. It doesn't seem the books would be as solidly in place as in your standard bookcase, does it?
ReplyDeleteAnd if you live in earthquake territory as I do, you bolt your bookcases to the wall - and that wouldn't work with these.
But for certain specific spaces, I can see round bookcases being a good answer. For example, I can see that tall one in a room without the wall space for a standard bookcase (and where using a bookcase as a room divider isn't a good idea, either).
This is a really new style to me. But I really like the looks of the Orbit from Bonaldo. I have a place in my house that it would be perfect for. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteBillf, you're very welcome! If you wind up with a round bookcase, I'd love to see a picture of it in your home!
