Putting Up Walls: 10 Gorgeous Wall-Mounted Bookcases

Posted: 03 Jan 2013 10:00 AM PST

Anyone can throw a bookshelf into a corner of a room and call it a day. It takes a bit more planning and effort to install a large wall unit bookcase. These 10 wall units are full of style, holding the room together as they hold books and entertainment equipment.

These wall units are all from Italian furniture manufacturer MisuraEmme and show the wide variety of materials and styles that wall bookcase units can be made in.

Wall units can be large enough to cover an entire wall of a room, or they can form a new “wall” by separating two areas of a room.

Some wall unit bookcases are meant for more than just books; they also feature spaces for televisions and home entertainment systems.

A wall unit can completely transform the look and functionality of a room. Because many of them are modular and installed just for the room they are in, they can conform exactly to the size and shape of the space they are in.

Bending Brightness: 2 Unusually Flexible Office Desk Lamps

Posted: 02 Jan 2013 04:00 PM PST

While most desk lamps are predictable and a bit boring, these two are anything but. They begin from essentially the same starting point: a lighted silver-colored tube. But from there, they go in different directions to deliver two almost unbelievably unusual lamps.

The PizzaKobra is a sleek flexible tube that starts out as a flat coil (kind of like a pizza) and extends upward until it looks like a cobra that is ready to strike. It can take on any number of shapes and positions thanks to its flexibility, allowing it to shine a light wherever it’s needed.

The Paperclip Lamp is exactly what it sounds like: a lamp that looks just like an over-sized paperclip. Like the PizzaCobra, its body is flexible and can be repositioned again and again, taking on whatever position gives the best light quality. Thanks to its original paperclip shape, it fits in perfectly with office interiors.
