Atlas Bookstand is a minimalist bookstand designed by Amsterdam-based studio bæbsy. Drawing inspiration from the storied figure of Atlas, who, in Greek mythology, was tasked with the formidable challenge of supporting the heavens, this new bookstand brings a touch of the mythological to the practical. Crafted from steel, the Atlas bookstand is engineered to support books of any size, offering them a prominent place in the home. Its design not only emphasizes functionality but also considers aesthetic appeal, with a variety of colors and finishes available to suit diverse interiors and personal tastes. The Atlas bookstand is versatile, offering two distinct assembly options: the Ordinary and the Levitate designs. The latter provides an innovative visual effect, creating the appearance of books floating above the stand itself. This feature adds an element of visual intrigue to the display of a book collection, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the space. The design of the bookstand, while rooted in myth, is firmly planted in modernity, offering a contemporary solution for book display and storage.
