The conventional hook form and function of the Ünal & Böler Salkim Book Hanger (price unlisted) toys with the idea of using less material on book storage, making a bookshelf much lighter than the weight of the books themselves. Each Book Hanger hooks onto the others and a slight breeze can make the entire "bookshelf" sway, transforming what would otherwise be seen as heavy books into objects with an air of lightness. This design was awarded the MAK DesignShop Award by MAK Museum of Applied Arts/Contemporary Art Vienna and was chosen for the DesignShop inventory during the Blickfang Wien '06 design exhibition. What do you think?

It's ok I guess...I don't think I would have it in my house though.
1i actually think this is pretty cool. and it would be super easy to move, which is one of the most important qualities i'm looking for in furniture nowadays lol.
2Don't like this at all. I'd rather have a bookcase.
3dont really like it..maybe if it were painted different
4I think it'd be a great way to divide a room.
5I would hate that every time I went to get a book of the shelf, or put one back on, the whole thing would sway.
I imagine it's like trying to use a rope ladder -- give me a fixed ladder any day!
6looks far too fiddly!
7Looks like it might fall over if you put a heavy book in the wrong place.
8I prefer book shelves.
9Definitely more artistic than efficient...
