Circular Bookshelf by Zhdanova Irina - Neatorama

We've featured a lot of unusual bookshelf designs on Neatorama before, but never one that you can "roll" up with a good book. Here's
a circular bookshelf by designer Zhdanova Irina. Her design also comes with a set of sofas that can be stored as a matching ring: http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Round-sofa/182377 - via Cribcandy and Yanko Design

That's the ghost of the kid who was squashed when it tipped over onto him.

I was about to post pretty much what Violet said. :D

would seem that it would be easy for the books to fall out, for it to tip over, to roll away with you in it, etc. not very practical at all, although wedged between two walls it could pose a nice place to snuggle up, however it doesn't look that comfortable for that purpose.

I don't know. Isn't the point of bookshelves that they store books in an efficient way? This seems like form over function, rather than a creative marriage of the two.

This technique is also know as Slit Scan photography. Makes for some pretty trippy images/video.

That was pretty neat, even though it's probably not the best thing in the world to watch with a hangover.

That technique is called 'slit scanning' and it dates back to optical printers, animation stands, Douglas Trumbull, and the 1960's

may not be good for a hangover but if you're still on it could be "kindacool!"

Good point, yayo. Unfortunately, I wouldn't have been able to find my computer last night if I had wanted to. ;)

It is a good effect. I think ultra subtle use could give an almost subconscious trip effect. The lines are distracting. It would be nice to see with a rendering that gave half values and smoothing to the break points so they were not obvious.
Overall very cool. :)

yes... it's homemade, a bit more of postproduction could make it better...

Anyway, the goin'through the door effect is really cool ^^

While it's true that Slit Scan photography was invented by Douglas Trumbull, this technique of Slit Scan time displacement on 3d objects was first done by Zbigniew Rybczynski.

This video did a darn good job of showing what vertigo feels/looks like to e when i've had it. You know things aren't moving like they look like they are...but you see it anyway. though this has more the trippy effect than the nausea of vertigo.
