Shelf JUXTAPOSED: Religion brings the world’s most influential religious texts together and presents on the same level, their coexistence acknowledged and celebrated. This work of art, the first in a series of Juxtaposed curated bookshelves for blankblank, is created by San Francisco designers Mike and Maaike.

By using experimentation as a collaborative work process, the designers strive to develop strong conceptual foundations and therefore do not attempt to arrive at a preconceived and static goals. “We mix our diverse high-tech and low-tech design background with our collage of interests to create products, wearables and art pieces, most of which are in search of perpetual motion and human interaction”.
