Chair Shelves by Upsetters Architects

Reed Space was designed by Japan-based Upsetters Architects. The project caught our attention with that wall of ~~chairs~~ shelves. The shelves are made of chairs anchored in rows into the wall. The seats of the chairs make up the actual shelves, with the backs and legs acting as support "brackets"...

Right, well, yes, chairs are indeed strong and when mounted to a wall we can see how they'd function as shelves that could support quite a lot of weight. If you stumbled across so many matching chairs this could be fun. What do you think of the cross-purposing? See more from Upsetters here.

ummm...looks a bit too much like an ikea showroom for my taste...

What's wrong with shelves? Pointless.

The chairs kinda make a statement, in my eyes. I like em.

In a child's room, it would be cool.

i hate this. all those chairs up the wall stress me out. its cluttery and visually confusing.

Reminds me of Shaker interiors, where EXTRA chairs are hung on wall pegs to be out of the way for cleaning and so on. It's an ok look for a large public interior, but for a home, not so much -- most of us would prefer the dual use of having functional chairs that we can set things on when needed...
