Big open spaces are great, until you find yourself short on storage and needing more shelves or bookcases. For those willing to make the trade off, systems like these can solve certain space issues – hopefully not at the expense of creating others.

The Cargosystem units from FEG are made to be inserted into open areas – they are not load-bearing and their doors slide specifically to make their footprint as minimal as possible.

While not structural, they are strong enough to hold your stuff and stand being pushed or pulled – aesthetically, they are something between a space divider, wall and bookcase, minimal enough to fit most styles of space.

In a time when e-readers and digital books are gaining massive popularity, it almost seems that good old-fashioned paper books are fading into the background. Sean Ohlenkamp and his wife understand just how magical books are, though, and they share that knowledge with the world in their enchanting stop-motion short “The Joy of Books.”

Working over several nights, the Ohlenkamps and their team of volunteers brought an entire bookstore to life. They used Type Books in Toronto as the stage for their exploration of the secret lives of books. The resulting video is a reminder of the magic that real books will always hold.
