Pac-Man Bookshelf
An Italian designer Mirko Ginepro is responsible for the brilliance behind the Puckman bookshelf. The unit is made out of varnished wood and is, of course, painted in a golden yellow reminiscent of the 80′s cult videogame Pac Man. The Puckman shelf (yes, Puckman is correct, not Pacman) is custom made to order, so you can choose a size and alter the color as you wish to accommodate a large television or to match the decor of a specific room. We like the set up where the Puckman shelf is adjacent to the television it, because it really puts the shelf and its character into perspective. Don't you agree? ( Source )
