Bookworm Shelf
- Designed by: Ron Arad
- Made by: Kartell
- Price: $425.00-1,115.00
- More Info: kartell.it
The Bookworm offers an expressionistic swoop that none of the other shelves even come close to touching. In fact, Ron Arad’s undulating bit of storage benefits from its dangerous curves—–the tension created by coiling back on itself strengthens the shelf. For a vast expanse of wall in need of a signature design, this is our pick; however, some shelves need little more than a spare ten minutes to install whereas the stiff PVC of the Bookworm requires an especially long screwdriver, a free afternoon, and a pair of very patient friends. It's hardy enough to handle your favorite tomes, but good luck getting them to stand up straight.

While I like the style and shape I cannot wait to hang it and then work to get some of my graded baseball cards up on this thing and stable. I am thinking silly putty but not sure. This shelf is going to be awesome in my office.

Hi, Does anyone have a truly detailed instruction set for installing a bookworm? So far...we are really challenged! Up to it, but a little overwhelmed! Thanks! Mary
