    You’ll love this bookcase/chair/cave mashup by Sakura Adachi… but sadly, it’s around $7,000.

    This is like a cross between a blanket fort, a cafe table, and a library. YUMMY!!!

    “…a bookshelf called the Cave, which allows readers to curl up in a form-fitting seat, surrounded by their beloved books. The Cave features a blob-shaped, human-size recess at its base. Sitting in this upholstered niche is supposed to make a reader feel secluded — akin to being lost among a college library’s dusty stacks — but still remain visible to passers-by.”
