have you seen this?


book storage is a constant source of frustration/deliberation/minor spousal disagreements in my household. it seems impossible to purge titles faster than they accumulate. sometimes i wonder if they might actually be reproducing during the night.

today on apartment therapy i came across one of the most exciting solutions i've seen in a long time, by a london-based architecture firm called levitate.

it's a bookshelf staircase...





i'm enamored with the modern approach, but have to admit i'd also love to see a glossier, more decorative, accessorized take on the idea.

in the meanwhile, wouldn't these guys look sweet nestled within the existing version somewhere?

We're constantly looking for solutions for book storage in our house. I've always loved books stacked along the sides of stairs. This is taking it to the next level, so to speak.
