Bookshelf The United States of America

Hard Furniture







In the furniture industry right now is very hard to come up with something new, but Ron Arad wanted to create something new, and he created a bookshelf inspired by the map of United States of America. This is only an art piece and not in production - but feel free to get excited about the design!


This really cool bookshelf, with each shelf being the outline of a US state, is actually a work of art with the incredibly long and slightly confusing title of “Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends”. It was created by artist Ron Arad and is made of corten and mirror-polished stainless steel, measuring over 15 feet wide (Corten and mirror-polished stainless steel 5.5m wide, 3.5 m high, 40cm deep) . It would be pretty cool if each shelf had books related to or about that particular state.


The 2009 design is set to be exhibited alongside other new works from Ron Arad at the Timothy Taylor Gallery in London between April 8 and May 9, 2009. -
