Just like some people can’t imagine spending two grand on an HDTV, I can’t imagine spending two grand on something made out of wood that doesn’t have an outboard motor attached. And in this case, if I really wanted this Quad bookcase by designer Nauris Kalinauskas, I could probably slop together a similar version myself. (Carpentry has become so much easier for me now that I’ve realized you can build things flat on the floor and then tip them up.)
Still, striking. And ever-so-slightly vertigo-inducing.

Yah looks good but nothing that can be fully blueprinted in twenty seconds on a quarter of a sheet of graphing paper is worth $2000.
