What holds the interests of 7.5 billion people, spans 206 countries, and dates back 3,700 years? What happens when Jesus Christ, Buddha, and the Prophet Muhammad stand back to back to back? The one of a kind lighting, furniture, and art object company blankblank answers them both with great profundity and exceptional style in the latest edition of its Juxtaposed: Religion series.
On one level, the Juxtaposed: Religion Tenth Anniversary Edition Shelf is an exceptionally beautiful piece of minimalist furniture composed of renewable Pinewood. On another level, it contains the wisdom of the ages through seven of the most venerated and powerful religious texts in all of human history: the Tao Te Ching, the Holy Bible, the Torah, the Qur’an, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Middle-Length Discourses of the Buddha.
But the way in which these books are displayed might be the most striking and profound element of this uniquely beautiful mountable shelf. Sitting securely in precision-crafted notches that fit them perfectly, each one of these seminal tomes, although differing considerably in size and dimension, is raised to the same level both physically and symbolically. If you’re looking for a more powerful representation of peaceful human coexistence and mutual cultural understanding in a piece of home décor, you’ll be hard pressed to find it anywhere else.
