"Imagine you've just finished a particularly interesting chapter while reading, and right as you finish that last sentence, a phone call comes in. You then find yourself searching for a place to put your book, to be picked up, with the best of intentions, as soon as you're done. You don't 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."
"An unassuming plane of powder-coated steel creates a bit of negative space while leveraging a few simple but dramatic bends to help you put your story on pause. It's the perfect place to rest your book, spine intact. Gently place your reading face down and watch the pages quietly fall into place against the bookstand's top edge. It keeps your spot in the story while ensuring your space remains tidy in the process."
"What's more, the ritual or reading can come with a chore, especially for those of us that happen to do multiple things at once. No more messy piles of books lying around - the Book Stand is simple yet smart enough to keep up with our daily needs. It tracks your reading in one place so you can actually focus on whatever task is at hand, whether that be finishing a story or something else until you can get back to it."
Penguin x MOEBE Book Stand combines minimalist Danish design with multifunctional utility to pause reading without dog-earing pages. An unassuming plane of powder-coated steel uses simple, dramatic bends to cradle a book face down, preserving the spine while letting pages rest against the stand's top edge. The stand keeps reading spots tidy and prevents messy piles, consolidating books in one place. Its versatility supports uses from following recipes to displaying favorite covers in kitchen, study, or office. The design celebrates Penguin's 90-year legacy through simplicity and considered form. The stand functions as bookmark, book stand, or bookend.
