A Puzzling Statement Piece

rubika_bookcase_01

On one hand, this design totally stresses me out with flashbacks to a game I NEVER came close to mastering! On the other, there’s no denying the charm of its familiar aesthetic. Inspired by everyone’s favorite 1980s toy, the Rubika bookcase is at once a modern statement piece and a nod to the past.

From afar, it looks like a three-dimensional cube. Take a closer look, however, and you’ll notice that it’s the same width as a traditional bookcase. This mesmerizing visual is created by a thoughtful shift of its cubbies’ shapes in combination with a blend of mixed woods. The result is at once playful and perplexing!

Designer: George Bosnas
