Books are heavy.

i worry about the weight of the books causeing the piece to compress. One could individually attach each section the the wall. Very interested in this product if it works.

Very interesting concept!

beautiful, original but space consuming

Very cool idea. I imagine bright colors like the ones in the pics above would fit perfectly in any childs room. But darker colors could fit in other bedrooms in the house as well.

I think this is the 20th bookcase tree i’ve seen

as I see you’ll need like 40 screws to fix it tight to support the weight

thank you very much

As a few have said, there’s no way this would be a free standing shelf. Books are very heavy and even a well balanced tree would fold under the weight. Also, free standing, in the middle of the room? That’s crazy talk. It’s way too shallow to not tip over front to back.

As whimsical as this concept is, any parent would think thrice about having this in theire child’s room, let alone filled with heavy books.

Last, as an engineer, I know what it might cost to cast (injection mold) something that big out of plastic. There’s no way they’d sell enough of these to justify the tooling costs, even in China. Maybe someone will build one out of wood, with a bigger base, and some kind of spine to hold the weight and bolt to the wall.

Hello,
Thank you so much for your interest and for responding to this article.
The thickness of the structure is 10-12mm and I do not bend to the weight of books.
As rightly say, the structure in the center room needs to have a pedestal to be placed in the center of the room, and to prevent it from falling.
The library, is supported in the center of the room, by a pedestal in transparent polycarbonate which is fixed inside the lower part of the stem.

Thank you so much and i’m open to new suggestions

Roberto I think that you should work in a 3d version of it I would be more solid and also you can find a way to make disperse cubes with many books you need to do it and generate an illusion of fruits hanging on brenchs what do you think??
