"Bookmarker addresses this by treating reading as an activity worth designing for specifically. The table's form creates a clear place for books in progress, making them visible rather than buried. Japanese cypress construction gives it a warm, tactile presence that reads as furniture first, while its cutouts and slots serve the practical needs of someone settling in with a novel and a drink."
"The entire piece cuts from a single board of vertically laminated cypress, producing three interlocking parts with minimal waste. This efficient approach allows the table to ship flat and assemble without hardware, reducing both material use and packaging volume. The cutouts that enable this nesting also define the table's visual character, creating geometric negative space that feels intentional rather than incidental."
"Assembled, the table forms a C-shaped profile with a circular opening and a vertical slot running through its center. Books slide into that slot and rest upright, accessible from either side depending on where you're sitting. The circular cutout provides another grab point for reaching volumes stored within. This dual access removes the awkward leaning or reaching that happens with conventional side tables when you want a book stored underneath."
Bookmarker creates a dedicated place for books in progress, keeping them visible and within reach. The table is constructed from Japanese cypress and combines warm tactile presence with functional cutouts and slots for books and drinks. The piece is cut from a single board of vertically laminated cypress into three interlocking parts that nest together, enabling flat shipping and tool-free assembly without hardware. A C-shaped profile includes a circular opening and vertical slot to hold books upright and accessible from either side. The top surface accommodates a mug or glasses and a water-repellent ceramic coating protects against condensation and spills.
