Remember back in ye olden days when people read those things made of paper. Oh, what were they called. Umm, yeah. Now I remember – books.
With the advances of e-books and the accompanying Kindles and e-readers available at seemingly every store now, books have sort of lost their luster. They’re bulky to hold. They take up actual space.
But for those die-hards who won’t give in to the digital age, at least on this topic, books are still a glorious comfort and sometimes a luxury. Seeing them lined up along shelves in whatever organizational scheme suits the owner best – be it the Dewey Decimal System or alphabetical – is a personal thing.
Now for those who continue to purchase the paper versions for their at-home library or want to reorganize the treasured books they just refuse to donate or give away, Flavor Wire has a list of interesting bookends to peruse. Everything from fish tanks to bears and industrial-looking punctuation marks come in forms that will keep your books in tidy order. Fortunately, none of these bookends are explosive.
And for those of you looking for a place to both read and store your books, Solovyov Design has just the chair for you – the Ofo chair.
