The Penguin x MOEBE Book Stand: A Multifunctional Marvel
Imagine you’ve just finished a particularly interesting chapter while reading, and right as you finish that last sentence, a phone call comes in.
However, you don’t want to dog-ear your pages on principle, and a bookmark is nowhere in sight.
Enter the Penguin x MOEBE Book Stand, a thoughtful collaboration by Danish design studio MOEBE and the iconic book publisher Penguin.
A Simple yet Smart Design
With one device, book lovers and literary aesthetes alike can enjoy a variety of use cases where reading and a well-manicured space collide.
Moreover, the Book Stand is designed to keep your spot in the story while ensuring your space remains tidy in the process.
Its versatility abounds, making it perfect for displaying books in a kitchen, study, and office – in or out of use.
A Collaboration of Timeless Design
Available in four colors – Stainless Steel, Sand, Black, and Penguin’s signature Orange – these book stands are lightweight yet strong, adding a splash of color to perhaps a more neutral library or nightstand.
Consequently, this collaboration from MOEBE and Penguin feels natural, given both brand’s commitment to timelessness within a modernist space.
In addition, the Book Stand celebrates the role books and design play in our everyday lives, creating something that is versatile and moves with our changing needs.
Designing for the Future
“Penguin has shaped the way we read for 90 years,” shares Anders Thams, designer at MOEBE.
Therefore, we wanted to design an object that honors books themselves – reduced to its essence, but full of possibility.”
Meanwhile, the Book Stand has a small lip on the bottom, allowing a number of items to stand directly on the metal, their own weight keeping them from falling over.
