Every time I come across invisible bookshelves at a client’s I experience more intense adoration for their design.

It isn’t merely that they look cool (which they do), nor is it how conducive they are for small spaces (which they are). It’s, well, yeah, I guess it’s those two things I just mentioned.

For denizens of meager square footage who are long in page, there is no more optimal storage solution than either the wall-mounted invisible book bracket, or the spine book tower. You get all the books with none of the furniture bulk ordinarily required to house them.

Even if your square footage abounds, the invisible bookshelf earns you a singularly fascinating design element. It’s the anti-statement-statement. Too cool for furniture.
