Dapper Scout – A lifestyle web magazine for men

For a few years, the editors at DS called the Garden State (yes, that would be New Jersey) home.  And though we eventually made our way into the city, one of the things we could appreciate from across the Hudson was the Manhattan skyline.  Reminiscent of the view we had from our quondam Jersey City digs, the Storyline Shelf by Frederik Roijé (available at FormNation for $460) is powder coated steel folded into the physical manifestation of the word “bliss”—that is, the word translated to a soundwave and then realized in solid metal.  Available in four colors, this shelf is brilliant mounted on your wall horizontally, but even more so vertically.  And however you see it, whether filled with books or left alone as a wall installation, the Storyline Shelf is pure shelving joy.

Both geometric and organic in shape simultaneously, the Kibardin Design Tree Shelves (available at Kibardin Design for approximately $7,700) exemplify some of our favorite aspects of modern furniture design—wit, simplicity and flexibility.  This shelf-stand for books and magazines allows you to more than adequately store your myriad collection of reading materials, regardless of shape or size.  Available in transparent lacquer, black japan or cherry finish, the Kibardin Design Tree Shelves provide bibliophiles with a unique angle and vantage point from which to view and appreciate their ever expanding library of tomes and sundry items.
