Cantilever Bookshelf

Posted on July 29, 2007 by Registered CommenterAOP in , | Comments4 Comments



This is a remake of a cantilevered bookshelf I made few years ago.  The concept is the same as the previous version, however I've simplified the design and eliminated any kind of connection pieces between the counter weight and the steel plate.  Essentially, this bookshelf can be made with one precast concrete counter weight, one structural steel channel, and one custom piece of sheet steel slotted down the middle to accomodate and adjustable bookend (not shown) to stop the books from toppling over as  they are placed farther down the shelf.

I suppose if you only own eleven books and want to make the most of it then it is interesting in some way.
The pictures looks rendered and really good as that, with great depth of field and well working light and shadow.

On the other hand, this could be found in some high end designer store going for more than $ 1000,- though I think is too much going on for almost no reason.
Quality of 3D work and rendering is good.
