TAB sliding bookcase by studio EJ

‘TAB’ sliding bookcase by studio EJ

presented at salone satellite during milan design week 2013, seoul-based design group studio EJ have conceived ‘TAB’, a bookcasewith vertical sliding tabs that allows users to organize books in multiple configurations. by repositioning the sectioned dividers, different zones can be allocated for specific types of reading material. naturally, the organizational composition creates various scenarios based the positioning of the screens.

organizing books horizontally

organizing books vertically

a rail at the top panel/ a guide at the bottom –  the form of sliding panels act as a divider

sliding tabs do not touch wood panels so that it help smooth movement.

by putting on the rail, a piece of wood with small magnets plays a role as a stopper which can fix the position of the panel.
