There are few activities as relaxing and stimulating as reading. Those who enjoy it so much usually have their own special reading corner within their crib, a place where they like to get lost in the fascinating words of who knows what authors.

Helsinki-based designer Inbar Paradny Kalomidi came up with a fantastic way of enjoying a good book in a versatile, modern environment. His Recamier Reading Corner gives a new meaning to the activity of reading a book. This is a perfect combination between a comfortable chaise-longue and a shelving system. Designed to offer a comfortable position, the recamier can be taken out of its place in the bookcase. A sinuous shape completes the round corners design of the simple, white bookcase and gives it an interesting twist.

With this type of furniture item, reading will seem more intense than ever, as the ergonomics of this design ensures maximum body comfort and a high level of concentration. A light blanket and a comfortable pillow is all you need to feel like this space belongs only to you as long as you enjoy the adventures of the main character in your book. The uncommon reading corner looks perfect for the living room and when it is not in use by one of the passionate “readers” within the home, it can serve as a regular sitting item. With the shelves near by, all of the user’s favorite books are easy to reach and so are other items that can be used during reading intermissions. Keep your books close, maybe a cup of tea and enjoy the wonders and luxury of escaping into fantasy lands of your choosing.
