P.O.V. (Point of View)

The P.O.V. (Point of View) bookcase, as with life, is all a matter of perspective. Inspired by Agamograph art P.O.V. uses colour to create two different aesthetics when viewed from different positions - stand to the left of the bookcase and one colour is visible, but move to the right and another colour emerges. (This is achieved by placing different colours of either side of the vertical supports).

By strategically placing colour-matching objects to one side of the bookcase or the other users can exploit the effect, creating a room with a dual colour scheme.
