A Bookcase Defying Gravity: Equilibrium by Malagana Design

Equilibrium Bookcase is an original and surprising product by Malagana Design, a studio in Colombia. We like to call it gravity defying, but in reality the bookcase is very solid. The design concept was just really well implemented which is why, even if it seems that the cantilevered modules are going to collapse, they are in fact in equilibrium. Moreover, they are able to sustain no less than 50 kilos. The bookcase consists of five separate volumes, which the owner can customize in any way he pleases. It might prove to be useful if the owners stored books on one shelf, CDs on another and so on. However, due to their inclinations, the shelves can’t host small objects or other products that would slip and fall. All in all, we find this idea highly creative and we think it would go great in a modern, personalized interior.
