“Developed in association with the designer Glauco Bernardes, the Vaco bookshelf is exclusively assembled by the mortise of the pieces cut by a laser machine.
In 2010 the Project was sold for PepsiCo, that now owns the copyright in alimentary and beverage activity. This Project was spread all over the internet, websites and blogs. In 2011 it was published on the AT jewish magazine and it was also chosen between the 10 best bookshelves by the hollander’s Depers magazine.”

Another great Dutch library…. Go look at the rest of the photos….
For example, here is a photo showing lamps on top of low bookshelves with books displayed and stacked around them (very bookstore-ish).
I tried to zoom in and take a screenshot of the lamps.

Okay, this clever hand-made charging station is what I need for the iPads I envision on the circulation desk… Will have to get a student to help me make one.

This image shows smaller, mobile bookshelves that replaced big, stationary ones. It’s worth clicking on the Picasa Web Album link above and going through all the images.

“People are always surprised by the fact that I think the best technology in theInnovation, Discovery, and Engagement Area (IDEA) is the dry-erase paint byIdeaPaint. But two years later, I can say with confidence that its has fundamentally help transform the learning space, engage learners informally and formally, and enhance the Core Cs: choice, collaboration, communication, community, connections, creativity, creation, critical thinking, and curation.”
A fascinating blog post re how IdeaPaint has been used in a learning environment.
I particularly like the graffiti post….

“Ideas happen everywhere, and IdeaPaint is the perfect creative solution to turn almost any surface into a useful and interactive workspace.
Alphabet Arm, a design and branding shop based in Boston, decided to paint their conference table with IdeaPaint PRO to create a unique space to engage their clients, and to improve team collaboration.”
Tables as whiteboard surfaces…. easy with IdeaPaint…. (By the way, there is a Singapore supplier, I’ve heard… if you’re interested, contact me….)
