Art Deco Egg-Shaped Bookshelf
Product Information
These egg-shaped, Art Deco-style bookshelves are beautiful. I found the photos below, and I loved the egg-like shape so much I created a 3D model of one 🙂

3D Visualization
For our shelf model, my material of choice is burl amboyna veneer.
The Art Deco bookshelf, all by itself.
I lessened the glossiness of the model, but I believe most of these in production would have a truly glossy finish. I created a simple room for the bookshelf to show itself off:
The Art Deco bookshelf in context.
The framed black-and-white photos of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty I took in New York during a visit there last year. I modeled the uplighter based on a design by Eugene Printz.
Here is another Art Deco-style room I created with the bookshelf on display.

Get the Look
I selected a few bookshelves with a very unique look. They are not your typical square or rectangular bookshelf; in fact, their curves will add pizzas to any room.
The Coaster Square Tiered Bookcase in Cappuccino
For a really unique shelf, the Authentic Models Bosun’s Gig Bookcase
Finally, the Oriental Unlimited High Bentwood Curio Display Units

ohhhh, i do like the egg-like shape myself. would have wanted you to make it rosewood, to match the desk.
Yes, indeed, using rosewood here would make it pair nicely with the desk. I’ll try to redo the model, this time with rosewood veneer, filleted edges and a double base! I learned that taking shortcuts don’t work (at least, not in this particular case).
