JUXTAPOSED: Religion

Finally, a bookshelf with a message other than “Look at me, I read more than you” or “Here are a bunch of books that I’ve never read”. Instead, this one holds a few books that nobody really understands and says, “I have a $2500 bookshelf to hold books that I don’t even understand.”

5,084,000,000 people 5,360 pages 3,700 years 243 countries 7 books 1 shelf. For the first time, the world’s most influential religious texts are brought together and presented on the same level, their coexistence acknowledged and celebrated.

All kidding aside, I would have this bookshelf at my place if it didn’t cost almost as much as three months of rent. Designed by Mike and Maaike, this shelf is the first in a series of conceptual shelves called Juxtaposed. I dig the look and the message, but not so much the price.
