If you are looking for a stunning bookshelf solution that is as strong as it is visually light, take a gander at Jason Wade's new bookshelf ($1300) that he premiered at ICFF.
Based in Chicago and fronting his own design company, 45 Degrees Design, Jason has created a Mid-C styling with a more contemporary flair. The shelves (which come in all-wood as well) are made of walnut and plastic laminate as well as in solid oak. The design scales from two to five shelves and is solely anchored by the weight of your books pushing it against the wall. (via Wallpaper) MGR

It's nice, but...I am already visualizing it crashing to the ground within hours of appearing in my home!
Not really digging it. I like his other furniture, but this looks a little too eldelry for my taste :(
