Piola
------------------
These pegs might not look like they can hold anything, but they can definitely hold your books. The Piola bookcase by Italy-based nobody&co is meant for illustrative books, but is something to look at in itself. Available in three versions with mix-and-match pegs to suit your tastes. nobodyandco.it, $6,400

Magtable
------------------
Don’t you hate it when you leave a magazine on the coffee table, only to see the cover later tattooed with warped rings because someone couldn’t find a coaster? Umbra’s Magtable solves that problem with slots specifically to hang magazines for storage. Why didn’t anyone think of this before? Umbra.com, $158

Lovely Rita
------------------
Tired of shelving that’s hopelessly horizontal? Lovely Rita, a wavy and bendy shelf by Kartell, works as both a work of art and a place to store your books. One piece measures up to 40 inches, but can be combined to create as much shelving as you want. Unicahome.com, $257

W Magazine Rack
------------------
Need a place to store your extra copies of HB? Do so
in style with the W Magazine Stand by Offi & Co. Not only artistic, it’s also a green product, made with non-toxic, formaldehyde-free adhesives and built by ply-bent construction, which produces less waste than solid wood construction. Offi.com, $99

Bookinist
------------------
Taking Bookmobile to a whole new level, the Bookinist by German designer Nils Holger Moorman is like a pimped-out pushcart that can roll out onto the lanai, into a cozy corner or next to the office window. The chair holds up to 80 paperbacks and has a built-in reading lamp and a secret compartment. Moorman.de, $3,013
