The REK Bookcase from Reinier de Jong doesn’t just have good looks, it can expand and contract as your book collection changes. Slide it together and it’s extremely thin, taking up no more room than a basic bookshelf would. Expand it and you get a storage system that rivals that of IKEA. Who would even think about keeping this thing shut tight?
Reading is a hobby that most intellectuals take very seriously. Where they are reading is almost as important as what they are reading. A quiet area serves as a sanctuary for readers worldwide. We’ve seen some cool bookshelves, but this Cave bookcase offers both an ample space to store your books and an interesting spot to read them in.
The Cave allows for the reader to create their own private reading space where they can go and escape from the world. The Cave can also be used as an interesting room partition if used properly. The seat height being just above the floor further allows for the reader to feel a separation from the world around them, which for a stressed book lover, is the ultimate of vacations. There’s even a kids sized Cave in the works. — Andrew Dobrow
