Internet-inspired ‘www’ shelf by Viktor Matik

Anyone looking to organize their collection of books in a quirky way is in luck, as Italy-based designer Viktor Matik has come up with an entirely new shelving unit concept. Instead of creating conventional rectangular or box-like shelving system, Matik has formed a shelf called ‘www’ that cleverly interprets digital communication and networking.

Although diagonal structures are not so popular in shelving systems, they offer multiple uses while adding aesthetic appeal to your home interior.  Likewise, the eccentric bookshelf is also designed to offer an eye-catching way to showcase your reading material.

Structure

The hexagonal frame of this shelf is made from wooden slats, which are geometrically aligned to form a furniture piece. To build shelves for storage, blue-colored strings are strung horizontally and diagonally within the frame. These blue strings form a striking contrast with whitish wood frame, providing both aesthetic and functional accent to any small or large living space. Moreover, strings are strong enough to withstand weight of all your books, and keep them arranged diagonally or horizontally.
