I saw one in a library in Deventer, The Netherlands and it totally blew me away. The variant shelf really stood out against the rest of the usual boring library backdrop. Daan Roosegaarde's other work looks totally different from this...a lot of interactive robotic stuff mixing sculpture and architecture. These shelves look pretty amazing in the flesh!

Recently they posted about Dutch libraries using what is called Variant shelving for books. From the pictures it looks like they primarily are using the shelves for browsery areas and not to replace regular shelves and well…it looks cool. They are made of recycled cardboard and look very sculptural. The designer Daan Roosegaarde has both an architecture and sculpture background and it shows in his work.

It looks as if the layers of cardboard strips are glued together and then the faces are covered with something like formica. Are the cardboard shapes given a final cut with a bandsaw? Any suggestions for websites that might give instructions? Thanks. I’d like to learn more about this construction technique.
