Cheap bookshelves always end up bowing in the middle. The difference with Arianna Vivenzio's Elastico Bookshelf is that it's meant to bend. Two metal posts form the brackets, and a giant elastic band is stretched between them. We like the simple expandability, but if this concept design ever winds up in the Gadget Lab, we can see ourselves using it as a giant catapult.
