Bookshelf Plans & Inspiration

I’ve had my final project idea since the start of class and have put a bit of thought into it already. I want to make a custom bookshelf that’s capable of holding a variety of sized books and magazines, a record player along with vinyls, and an assortment of tools.

For the aesthetic of this project I have yet to pick a specific one, but I want to lean into the following concepts, Mod, 80’s, retro, geometric, and ‘sitcom furniture’. I want the shelves to be modular, the whole thing to look clean and cohesive, while also having each shelf/part it’s own ‘statement’. I think my experience with retro movies and a fascination for antique woodwork pieces has brought my attention towards these themes.

So far I’ve done the following sketches, starting a plan as to how the shelves will look, and where each piece will exist.

I’ve put together a Pinterest board linked below with many different inspirations of what I’d like the bookshelf to look like and some of the components of what it’ll hold.
