"The structure is made up of mountain-shaped wooden modules that link side by side, creating a continuous zigzag profile sitting low on the ground. You're never looking up at a bookshelf; you're looking across it from the same level as everyone else."
"What Tsuranari's angle actually changes is the body language of browsing. On a regular shelf, a child cranes upward while an adult leans down, and neither has a great view. Here, both stoop and reach at the same incline, heads at roughly the same height."
"It also helps that Tsuranari can be browsed from every side. Kids browsing from opposite ends end up facing each other without even trying, and adults and young children find themselves side by side at the same slope."
Tsuranari, a mobile bookshelf designed by Border Design Architects for GoGo Marchen House, addresses the accessibility issues of traditional bookshelves for children. It features a low, zigzag structure made of wooden modules, allowing books to be reached easily by children. The design promotes equal browsing experiences for both adults and children, as they can interact at the same height. This innovative approach encourages independent book selection and transforms browsing into a shared activity, enhancing the overall experience of reading.
