Books Might be Deceiving

Stansliv Katz has done it again. I had previously blogged about Stansliv's bookshelf which incorporated a bookshelf and lounge seat in the center. Here Stansliv showcases his creativity by creating a bookshelf that has fun bold colors and plays on eye-trickery.

To read more about Stansliv's design check our his blog here.
