For the love of reading
Nov 27, 2008 in My distractions
I LOVE to read and honestly, this chair ought to be THE dream chair for a fiery bookworm.
According to the manufacturer nobody & Co., this chair alone stores ‘5 metres of books’! WHOA! That’s plenty of space spared by using just one of this chair alone. So instead of erecting a whole wall of cabinets to store your books, might as place two or three of these chairs in your room and there you have your 10-15metres of storage place for your books!
But the Chinese in me, who sometimes tends to be a little superstitious, believes that it’s a definitely ‘no-no’ to sit on books. I’m not really sure why but I used to get admonished by my grandma and great-aunts when I sat on books as a child. I think they say you’ll be illiterate in your next life or something like that.
However, superstitions aside, I still think that it’s a really cool chair. Although I still wouldn’t wanna sit on it
because I think I might get too distracted surrounded by so MANY books, in such proximity. The musty odour of old paperbacks mingled amongst new books evoke a familiar olfactory sensation in me, which my brain would automatically translate them into ‘READ ME! READ ME!’.

This is one cool ingenious chair! Thanks for sharing it in your blog!
erm, it doesn’t look comfy to me..and the design is not ergonomic…
Not comfy at all! Can just feel the books sticking out, scratching my limbs everytime I move! URGH!
But nice design!!
