Ladders in Home Libraries Done Right
If you’ve even been to any huge public or University library, you’ve probably seen shelves that seemingly climb to the ceiling with rail ladders the only way to get to the top. It’s a very learned look that I’d like to achieve but my house barely has any room for any of that. The Matching Tree furniture system is just my ticket.
The Matching Tree system utilizes expanding pillars and joists to provide support tension for any custom shelving solution – all without drilling nasty holes. They also hide a ladder that easily slides out giving you the learned library look. I’m in heaven. The support rails are made of aluminum, the shelves – wood. My only gripe are those giant circular discs. They look a bit unsightly. It’s all just concept now but I’m sure sooner or later, IKEA will catch on and release something similar.

so the use of the shelving system is limited, cant use it with suspended celings for example.

Neat, these would be perfect for the 10ft ceilings in my house. Fairly tasteful for an insta-library.

The tension idea for these bookshelves is particularly intruiging and practical, making possible design solutions virtually endless.

it could be done more cleanly with just a track mounted to the celing, connecting to the joists and then dangling the tension members from it. I don’t like all the feet up there, looks clunky.
