This brilliant shelf is perfect for anyone who loves to show off the tchotchkes they’ve amassed, but also keep the more embarrassing items out of sight. On top you can proudly display your collection of antique tea cups, while the secret drawer will easily hide all of your Pokemon trading cards.
When closed, the 1.3-inch thick shelf won’t draw any attention to itself thanks to a wraparound wood veneer that hides the drawer’s seams. And in lieu of handles that would be a dead giveaway of its alter-ego, the shelf is opened using a set of magnetic ‘keys’ that easily detach when it’s closed. Besides hiding the trashy tomes you enjoy curling up with at night, the shelf also makes for a great place to stash valuables—at least it would if Torafu Architects were to actually put it into production.

Great, until someone taps on it and wonders why your solid wood shelf is hollow.
Most of these “floating shelves” are hollow since the bracket that holds it up fits into it.
do you often go round tapping shelves, I mean it is one of my favourite past times but I thought I was the only one.
I think there’s a whole underground movement of ‘shelf tappers’ but it’s a bit like Fight Club, as in the first rule, etc…..
oh there is similar rule, I am going to be in some deep trouble when the rest of Shelf Club find out.
‘a similar rule’
will you get ‘shelved’?
