No amount of books is ever enough for a book lover. They will keep on buying till the end of the world, even if they run out of space to keep them. If you are an ardent reader who has a pile of unread and read books at home, then it is time to give them their own designated space. Meet the Book Monster, which is a modular furniture playfully combining a chair and a bookshelf. It will be the bookish throne of a quirky reader.
Designed and handmade by Jangminsu of JLF Design Studio, this heartwarming alliance is enough to lure any reader who has been delaying that one book for months to complete it in one sitting. The dynamic design of this reading chair features two monstrous wings (bookshelves) with plenty of sections for books, and Torso (chair), which can be paired either with the Wings or used as a standalone piece.
The Torso is designed to be robust and ergonomic. It has a wavy anatomy that appears to be flowing as if a book is still being read and pages are being turned. This generous and sturdy form evokes a sense of adventure while reading.
The Wings are an absolute treat to the eyes. Each wing has many sections for books and represents different phases a book and a reader go through. Whether the books are undiscovered, currently being read, done and dusted, or unexplored kept aside for future reference, this monstrous bookshelf is ready to feed upon them.
