HS

Bookshelf that looks like books are floating. Books show the unique shape of paper, both open and closed. An ordinary bookshelf shows a closed state, but there hardly is bookshelf which books left open. This "HS" was born to create a bookshelf with a fascinating expression of paper movement when opened it.

A strong fishing line is stretched constantly, and a special stopper is made and arranged. It uses putting on it on the stopper as if returning the book to the gap in between the books and books. The stopper does not move by the load of the book and acts only on human power. By choosing a clear thread, it can be placed in the centre of the room without obstructing the view.
