The Hollow Chair: Furniture Storage Solution!

Hello Gentle Readers!

As an avid reader I have to admit any piece of furniture that is or integrates a bookshelf is incredibly appealing to my sensibilities. Though the invention and purchase of the Kindle have limited how many hardbacks I buy these days. That being said, bookshelves and storage spaces are always a good idea in anyone's home.

In my search for a new design or designer to feature for you today, I came across this Hollow Chair by Judson Beaumont of Straight Line Designs. The chair can be used to store just about anything but for me, it would be the perfect bookcase. Just sit back and read, when you're in need for another book there's no need to give up!

The Hollow Chair is made from 618 individually cut pieces of Baltic Birch plywood cut out with a CNC machine. The elegant modern arm chair has a simplistic and affordable vinyl upholstery. “This chair was designed to remove the excess bulk and 3-dimensional footprint out of a traditional arm chair. The chair, by itself, is a perfect accent to nearly any environment you could place it in.”- Judson Beaumont
