Well, I disagree:

Though it's outrageously expensive.

One of the best but, honestly, just pilling up books looks better than any type of furniture, although it is not practical. Consequently the relatively cheap Sapien works better in most interiors. Now if we enter the realm of bookcases as room dividers this changes everything. I also like the Kartell cubes.

This apartment is great. This type of modern industrial refurbishment is my desired aesthetic of living. It's sophisticated but inclusive. This table spread represents it well.

Ha. That looks like a place a homeless person would live in in my neighborhood. But a homeless person with a nice bookshelf.

What... Maybe if they littered their living room floor with styrofoam cups, they'd feel less like homeless people?

any more interior shots of the brooklyn modern cover apartment?

stephen hero i like the white brick in that picture you posted. do you have more overall interiors for the industrial thing you're talking about? am looking for ideas for an apartment i don't live in but can't sell or rent either.

I may eventually end up covering a wall with bookshelves. Size is about 13' by 7'5". Could Ikea Billy do the trick (technically, I know they would)? Or should I look for a custom job?
