Those who love books more than anything would always want them to by their side and never part from them. The percentage of such bookworms would be very less, but creative designers from around the world can’t keep themselves from conceptualizing multipurpose furniture having the essence of a library intact for those people in minority. Chairs with built-in storage space is a perfect idea for all those who can’t part away from their favorite books. So, here we have a collection of bookshelf chair design ideas that can be deemed as personal libraries conceptualized by genius designers hailing from different parts of the world.

1. Bibliochaise

This drool-worthy chair-cum-library comes from the house of Italian design house Nobody & Co. Bibliochaise chair that can store around 300 books is a nice place to store your books.

The space between legs has been utilized as storage space for books. The bookcase underneath is big and open making it easily accessible with both the hands.
