Japanese Bed Style I just finished my first furniture and I really like to share it here in my first instructables. Hope you enjoy and don't hesitate to ask if there are some difficulties. This instruction is more a inspiration than a tutorial. I won't explane every step.

Even the speed reading bookworms would have trouble reaching enlightenment living in this enclosed structure- albeit housing an impressively accessible 6,000 books! But just for fun, let us observe Rintala Eggertsson’s ‘Ark’, which was built for a Small Spaces exhibition right inside of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Nothing short of a small architectural wonder well worth the peek… Here is a walk through of the tower. Rintala Eggertsson ‘Ark’ – tour of the book tower from Architects Build Small Spaces on Vimeo.

by Estudio Carme Pinós A 2 mm thick folded piece of steel in a U shape is the only material used to compose a light, modular and resistant shelf.
