This is such a righteous work,superficial enough to fill some pages of hyped design mags. is design a religion by itself? containing all other?
WTF
M&M though, are great designers. one small slip...
It's a great design idea. But I think they should make the shelves more flexible in terms of the books sizes they can handle. You can't force people to buy 7 books. A lot of authors and publishers have enough of a hard time just selling one book at the time. 7 is just unthinkable even if you didn't have an inflexible shelf to go with it.
It's conceptual dudes. You're seriously missing the point.
This is a beautiful and intelligent and funny art design piece. And there is nothing wrong with that. The world needs more things that are in this fuzzy and special category. The just finished Miami Design
mega-event is a living proof of that.
I don't think anyone deny's the concept is great in terms of art, but in terms of "design", agreeing with Jett. Now the cool thing would be getting the same aesthetic and juxtaposition but having a mechanism that allowed for books of all shapes and sizes
