Fiction

Fiction stands firmly planted on the ground, even though it has neither back piece nor screws. The secret is the angle of the side parts that work together with the weight of the books.

Tonic


Tonic Family is a shelf/sideboard/garderobe multifunctional system designed by Reinhard Dienes for Ames. Tonic is assembled without screws or the use of tools. Tonic can be used in two different positions; horizontal as a Sideboard, or vertical as a Bookcase. To achieve this change the legs are simply taken out of the sockets and replaced in the desired position. This transformation allows Tonic to adapt itself to changing living situations and desires.

New SoHo Synagogue Will Boast Bookshelf Bars


Of course the young rabbi behind the new synagogue in SoHo for "unaffiliated, downtown secular Jews" would turn to an "aggressively whimsical furniture" designer when planning the newest house of worship to hit the chic neighborhood. But what exactly will designer Dror Benshetrit be bringing to the temple on Crosby street? How about a bookshelf/bar that "revolves like the top of a parmesan cheese can to always reveal either prayer books or wine glasses, depending on the occasion?"

Dook house

The assignment was originally to design a dog house, instead I ended up designing a bed side table, book shelve, page holder, and oh, a small shelter for the family dog. All of this requires a minimum ammount of production and work, just fold one piece of metal sheet, fillet the edges, and you have four functions with the minimum possible ammount of work.
