Reading Nooks - Set

Reading nooks are those nice little nooks in your home where you don’t mind spending a whole day buried up reading a novel or catching up on magazines. The design of these places can be tricky, as usually, focus on comfort overrides aesthetics when you create these spaces. But that doesn’t mean these reading nooks need to be untidy or unappealing to look at.

If reading means more of the virtual thing for you, this setup would suit you:

Bookshelves As Room Focus

we lay more emphasis on how shelves can effectively become the focus of the room. The collections shown below are from two Italian makers: Mobilieffe & Mazzali

White Fiberboard Shelf System - Arie from e15

Arie is 25 mm thick shelf system made of white powder-coated medium-density fiberboard (or solid oak) which comes in two different heights. Thanks to the concept of the rack the system provides unlimited amount of combination possibilities when you put racks together. It also could provide unlimited amount of storage space if you combine more than one rack. The system even could become a corner shelf without any visible touching points. The system is free-standing so it could be put anywhere even as room divider. There is also a combination which could be used as sideboard. Besides being practical the system also has minimalist look and could be used in any contemporary living space. Arie is designed by Arik Levy and won several awards on IMM Cologne 2009 exhibition. e15

Ethnic Living Room Designs

This living rooms get their inspiration from Italian company Dall’Agnese. They produced furniture for all of them. There is only one collection presented called Marco Polo. The furniture is made from Wenge, with its warm and precious shades along with bamboo inlays, accompany all the items. There are a lot of components made in such colonial and ethnical style. The living room with Marco Polo furniture will always look quite exotic like the traveler live there even though he never left home. If the walls would be covered with ethnic prints than even more strong impression could be achieved. The best thing about Marco Polo collection that it looks almost like usual contemporary wooden furniture but could make the living room to look ethnic. [Dall'Agnese]
