World’s most expensive bookshelf costs $75k

Would you spend $75,000 on a book shelf?

Inspired by his grandmother’s ivy-covered garden, Chilean-born designer and artist, Sebastian Errazuriz has created a limited-edition bookshelf made from Baltic birch plywood in which the shelves seem to crawl along the side of your wall.

Aptly called Metamorphosis, the ripened vine looks like it would be perfect to climb and read a book.

The bookshelf will debut at an exhibition of the artist’s furniture work “beautiful premonitions,” which opens April 28th, 2011 at the Cristina Grajales Gallery in New York.
