We posted a lot of ideas on Freshome that emphasized some unusual extra functions that a chair may have, aside from providing seating space. Here’s an idea that is perfect for those who enjoy a good book more often than others. Bookseat comes from Fishbol and it is basically a miniature bookcase which was elegantly curved in order to become a comfortable chair. This double function turns Bookseat into an original furniture item, suited for traditional interiors, but for contemporary ones as well. The unusual chair was showcased at Toronto Interior Design Show 2008, but we decided to post it on Freshome nevertheless, because we found out that it will be relaunched in 2011 in an updated version. Bookseat comes with a cushion available in a variety of colors, but the books you have to buy separately.- via HomeQn

This beautiful indoor tree comes from Twentyfirst and could make for a fantastic bookcase. Its design is simple, yet completely unusual. “Wintertree” could be placed in a airy and spacious living room design with a contemporary touch. It comes in both white and dark brown, which are unpretentious colors, easy to integrate in almost any type of simple interior. We really like the fist photo, where too “wintertrees” are placed together and we think this is a viable solution in a large home, in order to replace a larger bookcase. Practical and original, this indoor furniture tree can not only store books, but a bunch of other things also. It is all up to the creativity of the customer. What would you store in it?

“Bucefalo” comes from Emanuele Canova and is a project with a triple function: it can be a chair, a couch and also a bookcase. What we consider to be extremely fascinating is the fact that its functionality doesn’t stand in the way of its impeccable design. Classy and elegant, this furniture piece fits wonderfully in a stylish contemporary home. Once integrated in an interior, it will probably become the room’s focal point. A subtle book shelving system is located below the seating area which provides enough storage space for a small reading arrangement. The design is available in black and white and some models feature wood finishes. The complementary pillows add charm without affecting the overall soberness of the product. -via Totonko

Here is an unusual bookcase we happened to come across at Milan. Imitating the color of wood, but with a completely different finish, this cardboard shelving system could make for a really original furniture element. It acts like a common bookcase and it is able to store books, Cd’s and other small decorative items. We also like the fact that the visible surface contains random letters- from our point of view, this is a hint of what the product should house and a very creative approach as well. One could even say it has a story to tell. Its downside is probably the fact that it has no enclosed shelves, but it is a cool idea nonetheless.
