Milan 2012: Austrian designer Robert Stadler will present a bookshelf that separates the books you've finished from those you haven't read yet at Galleria Nilufar in Milan next week.
Made from an aluminium composite, the shelf is folded into the shape of a W to create the two pockets that hold the books. A computer-controlled machine manages the manufacturing so that each shelf can be cut, folded and engraved in a single process.
