Bookseat by Fishbol Design
Anyone who has a tiny space at home need double-duty furniture to save its space effectively. This bookseat is designed by Fishbol from Ottawa. The purpose is to combine a seat with a book rack. When someone is sitting on the seat, at the same time, he doesn’t need to walk around for finding any book. He can put his favorite books in this bookseat, then every time he use the seat, he can read whenever he want. Simple.
This bookseat also can be placed on your library with unique system. In my mind, I will place some bookseats on my library room (if I have a big open library), then I’ll place one book category only for each bookseat. I like this bookseat concept very much!

Sicilian artist, born in 1977, Arcangelo Favata took his degree in sculpture at the “Academy of Fine Arts” of Catania. In 2002 he was mentioned for a thesis titled “DAL RIFIUTO ALL’AMORE PER LE COSE” (“FROM RUBBISH TO LOVE FOR THINGS ”).
For him the concept of rubbish does not exist in nature, because everything can have another life. This is the idea which his seats are based on, completely built recycling and assembling obsolete materials found in the streets of Torino, where he has been living for a couple of years.
So, recycled wood platforms found in supermarkets become furnishing elements, like the “Pallet” seat; waste wood (chipboard, multilayer, plywood, laminated wood, etc…) become a tribute seat to Paul Klee; and in the spirit of a seat can take shape an old chest of drawers, whose memory is preserved by its original elements.
