Danish designer Thomas Bentzen has designed a freestanding storage unit that looks a bit like a doll's house on legs.

Name/Library Specs
Storage space and room divider

Library is an extension of FBJ's core product line furniture for receptions, offices and banks. A room divider, a cosy nook, a shot of homeliness with a sloping ceiling that can be tiled with books or magazines.

The book ends offer storage space for magazines, a graphic deviation in the room, which can be used to create order or chaos. Library is made in classic ash to give the storage a warm glow.
