Flickr Finds: Bookshelf Behind the Couch

Mary responded to a post I wrote a long time ago about how to successfully place a couch in front of a bookshelf, saying, “did you ever figure out a solution? I am thinking of bookcases behind sofa as an option, but I want to see how it might look implemented, before I commit.”
I decided to round up a few photos for inspiration…

So there are a few ways to do it. Damn — I love the reading lamps in this last picture. What are those called?
