The StairCASE from designer Danny Kuo is a smart solution for people with limited space (or a lot of books!). It’s a standard bookcase where each shelf is actually a box that slides out allowing it to become stairs. Just slide out a shelf and you can easily reach the top shelf without a ladder. This would also be great for people in small apartments that have a lofted area for sleeping or storage… a better alternative to the spiral staircase or a ladder.

[...] It’s no surprise that a dude who lives in a city of 18 million people would appreciate the need to conserve space. Shanghai-based artist Danny Kuo created the StairCASE, a bookcase where the shelves slide out to become a stairwell. We’ve seen the amalgamation of shelves and stairs before in London, but StairCASE can be put just about anywhere. The design lets you have a much taller bookshelf (most top out at roughly six feet to accommodate human height), or functions as a way to reach a lofted area for sleeping or storage. I could’ve used something like this in New York. [Danny Kuo via Craziest Gadgets] [...]
