A real page-turner

— Fascinated by how spaces transform over time, Hung⁠-⁠Ming Chen and Chen⁠-⁠Yen Wei invented the word Afteroom to name their Stockholm studio. "We simply want to create things people won't get rid of," says Chen⁠-⁠Yen. In creating the Story Bookcase (2017), they brought a new twist to Sapien⁠-⁠style vertical book storage by allowing the user to position the shelves facing forward or to the side.
