(via) Briefed to create a space that gave unique value to the reading experience, this one-of-a-kind, rising, cocooning, dome-shaped bookshelf – practical to the turn of the arch – was imagined by Mexican design studio Anagrama for the Conarte Library in Monterrey, Mexico. Here’s the skinny from the creators:

Our design proposal focuses on creating a space that wraps the reader in. The bookshelves attend more that just their basic function and were designed to simulate a dome that plays with the visual perspective. The stands incorporate a color gradient finish that attributes depth. The illuminated half circle found in the back wall simulates the vanishing point of the structure, creating a perfect balance between color and perspective.
