Reading Wall
Will we still need books in the near
future?
This is the question asked
by Jan van Hoof, a young graduate
from Design Academy Eindhoven. His
answer, Storyboard, is a space divider
made entirely from books cut with
method and persistency. The books,
without covers and each divided into
three equally sized parts, have been
glued together and transformed
into 30 by 75 centimetre bricks.
From a distance it seems to have a
uniform surface, but closer inspection
reveals the faded pages with fragments
of stories and titles of books. When
used as a cladding to an existing wall,
Storyboard also has the added effect
of increasing acoustic insulation.
