Jasper Morrison designs shelf that grows with your book collection
Jasper Morrison聽has teamed up with publisher Penguin to create a shelf that clamps books together and expands to accommodate a growing collection.
Morrison's idea for the portable book shelf, which is named Huddle after the collective noun for a group of Penguins, came about after furniture brand SCP was invited by聽Penguin to create a "new home for books".
Made from two sections of folded aluminium joined together with a sliding mechanism, the minimalist book clamp can expand to hold up to 27 books.
Its lightweight, minimal design, which features a laser-etched Penguin logo on either end, allows it to be be easily moved around the home or workplace.
"My dad had a large number of the penguin paperbacks in a bookshelf at our home and though I wasn't able to read them at the time, the repeating orange and white striped covers might easily be my earliest memory of a designed product," said Morrison.
"They had an aura which infused the room with a particular atmosphere which appealed to me," he continued. "The colours and the design have moved with the times but they still represent a model of how good book design can be, so I'm delighted to have designed the latest in a line of objects for keeping them together at home."
The Penguin Huddle, which was originally launched at SCP during London Design Festival 2017, will be showcased at the 2018 edition of Maison & Objet, which takes place in Paris between 19 and 23 January.
