Furniture designer Leo Kempf was interested in designing a piece of furniture using a new technique. He came up with a “process of bending plywood to create a simple curve.” He then inserted these curved plywood shelves into a red hardwood main beam to create The Gravity Bookshelf.
The bookshelf “is ideal for holding books securely without the need for bookends.”
It works by “gravity gently press[ing] the books into the shelf, creating a very simple, clean, and unique piece of furniture”
