Walking Bookcase

Selected for the Wallpaper* Handmade exhibition, dedicated to the marriage of craftsmanship and design, Wouter Scheublin took the opportunity to make a unique Walking Bookcase. The Walking Bookcase, ultimately equipped with Wallpaper* City Guides was shown in Milan during the Salone del Mobile, 2010.

The Walking Bookcase consists of an oak and stainless steel walking mechanism, carrying a bookcase on each side. When pushed, the bookcase comes to life and mimics a natural walking motion, perplexing our perception of the ordinarily static piece of furniture.
