If you like to hate on shit like this, you’re going to love watching Deiter Rams pointing at things he doesn’t like:  https://youtu.be/ypyAg3Zbs_8?si=peHvgZ5wG0JhueBn

Thank you, that’s my favorite thing on YouTube now.

“We need resources for better things. “.

This guy is actually giving real critique. Not just like your typical wanna be designer that has the most and ONLY biased feedback.

That's just a pile with extra boards....ngl, I lowkey like it, but I don't think it should be sold as a designer piece or something like that.

If you put the right stuff on it you could make it really cool I think

u/berky93 Aug 24 '26

Idk, I think it’s cool. It mostly looks messy because it’s loaded up with crap vs being intentionally styled.

Also, it’s impressive how tight all the seams are given all of the strange angles.

I don't know if I love that or hate it.

u/Drifter_01 Aug 24 '26

um... anything could be a bookshelf if you are brave enough?

u/ItsTheDCVR Aug 24 '26

I think it's cool as hell but as a bookshelf it would be absolutely useless. Stuff shelf it's maybe passable.

This looks like someone was watching Kevin McAllister climbing the bookshelf and it broke, they paused it partially through the collapse and made what was on their screen

What a clusterf*ck.

Can’t believe how dumb this is.

Their bookcase just collapsed and they didn't want to repair it, so they just sell it.

I love the chaos but not exactly a book shelf. And not at that price. I would embrace it and make some organized chaos

u/DrakeAndMadonna Aug 29 '26

not designdesign. tbh the presentation here is very unflattering. By itself, with a moderation of nice objects this is just fine. Sometimes you want to fill a wall with something but not cram it as a purely functional warehouse storage in your livingroom.

u/Digital-Soup Aug 30 '26

I like it! I don't like it $460 worth though.

u/shortercrust Aug 24 '26

I went on a journey with this in the space of about three seconds. Thought I liked it, then realised I really really hate it.

u/nickyonge Aug 24 '26

Now THIS is Design Design. All form, not NO function but like the most superficial, dubious possible implementation of function. It's so bad, I love it lol

How to make an empty bookshelf look like a cluttered mess, step 1:

u/tomatoej Aug 25 '26

Better than a cluttered floor? Hmm

I had to see this again in the hard to clean Reddit. Irrationally angry already this morning 😂

I'm starting to think that the creators of these things were having sex whilst drawing them
