Those shelves look really cool. I love them. Sure they may not be completely space efficient, but the look is bad a**. Like honeycomb!

I love the way they look, but they're a librarians nightmare! Those poor books!

Well, my first thought was that this was impractical. Then I noticed how many of my books were propped, leaning and stacked in my traditional bookshelf. Maybe this isn't such a crazy idea after all.

Fantanstic!

I have seen a few similar designs, which said they were inspired by a mathematical concept called "voronoi." Very interesting stuff.
