Comment on Misaligned cabinet in apple wwdc

I don’t care at all about that because something else is far more offensive about this piece of furniture.
If you look at the top above the plant, there is a stack of three books. THERE IS ENOUGH DEPTH TO PUT BOOKS THERE WITH THEIR SPINES FACING OUT, YET ON THE RIGHT, THEY’VE TAKEN AWAY ALL OF THAT DEPTH SO THAT THE SHELF WILL ONLY HOLD A SINGLE HARDCOVER BOOK, COVER FORWARD.
This furniture screams, “I want you to think I like books, but truthfully, I don’t even know how to read. Hardcover books are more expensive, so I’m fooling you even harder.”
It’s furniture for braggart morons. Let people brag all they want. Let them be morons all they want. But don’t make specialty furniture for braggart morons.

Underutilizing hardware is the iPhone way!

Those shelves are a design choice, people like to display things and they are interesting covers. I have shelves for vinyl because the art is cool. Also I think the backing can fold back to be a regular shelf

Good catch. It seems bad. My only hope, here, is that the lost depth is due to some other need for the volume behind it, volume that is either accessible from the side of the cabinet, or volume lost to some need to accommodate something that has to be there (pipes, ducts, etc). If this is the case, then what could you display in such limited space bit books, pictures, or the like?
This reading seems pretty charitable, I know, but alleviates some of the infuriating for me.

To be fair, that plants like 3inches thick. That entire top cabinet only looks like it’s 4-6inches

I mentioned the stack of 3 books at the top exactly to rebut that statement.

I don’t think it’s meant to be a permanent wall, that plant wouldn’t survive there, those books might be fake? I think it’s a lobby right, weren’t these backdrops all created from lobby spaces in the spaceship? So they quickly dressed it up, or rendered it in place. Either way good reasons for a bit of misalignment.

Sir, this is supposed to be only mildly infuriating.
I am going to pretend like there is a hole in the panel behind the books that you can open and store more books in, it would be cool but i don’t have hope its true.
