Danish designer Thomas Bentzen has designed a freestanding storage unit that looks a bit like a doll’s house on legs.
Called Library, it is made of wood and powder-coated steel.

Name/Library Specs
Storage space and room divider
Library is an extension of FBJ’s core product line furniture for receptions, offices and banks. A room divider, a cosy nook, a shot of homeliness with a sloping ceiling that can be tiled with books or magazines.
The book ends offer storage space for magazines, a graphic deviation in the room, which can be used to create order or chaos. Library is made in classic ash to give the storage a warm glow.
Library was made for SE/ THE CABINETMAKERS AUTUMN EXHIBITION 2008 - FIFTY FIFTY - in collaboration between manufacturers and designers.

I’ve seen these at the exhibition, and I quite like them. But I can´t understand why they are never shown with some books/magazines on, so we can see how they will look in their proposed environment..

Simple, works well, looks good. Proof that furniture for institutions and public spaces doesn’t have to be mind numbing.
