When I was a kid, I spent hours pondering whether Razzles was a gum or a candy. I ultimately decided it was both. So, I felt a surge of familiarity when I saw the Bookwave hanging storage. It is a curtain? Is it a room divider? Is it a a bookshelf?
Like Razzles, it's all those things. Perfect for a small space where regular bookshelves might take up valuable real estate, it expansiveness storage can hold anything from books to clothing to towels.

have fun making your own!
I guess I'm the only one who thinks this is just an ugly mess:(
Yeah, my wife would have this loaded with shoes about 10 seconds after I put it up. Even if I loaded it with something else, I'd come home to find my stuff on the floor in a corner, and this thing filled with shoes, curling irons, makeup, bills, old b-day cards, random laces, pens, markers, 3 types of wrapping paper, etc., etc. It would be impossible for her NOT to do this. She would lose sleep until this happened.
This is uncommonly ugly.
Gross, it looks Nasty... I wouldn't want that. I'd pay to have it removed like a wart.
It's interesting and I like the concept but I think I would like it better if it also attached to the floor and was stretched into a rectangular shape. Maybe that would make it look too regular but I just think it would look neater and more streamline.
the wife and the wart comments are hilarious!
Wow. Wow, that is ugly. And depressing. Mostly ugly, though.
somewhere i saw a purse/shopping bag that was made in a similar fashion. if i can find a link for it, i will post it
this is weeeeeeeeeeeeird...

Oh, I'm inspired! I think I'll try to DIY this - not for books, though :)
I'm also not a fan, though I agree that if it attached to the floor to make a rectangle it would be better.
i thought somebody should do this:
