KOOB revives the book as a spatial device. An open book on display rekindles the desire for culture, becoming a hearth where new interests gather. KOOB is mobile architecture performing multiple functions, generating what we ironically call "furni-tools." Depending on scale, KOOB transforms into stool, coffee table, bookstand, pen holder, cutlery rest, or vase, a versatile object that celebrates the enduring presence of books in our lives.

Take a break with your books and ideas. The KOOB project was born to create a small totem for displaying your favorite book or current reading. Bookstands were once commonplace, as books embodied knowledge itself. Though their aesthetic appeal remains, widespread literacy has diminished their value, often relegating books to cabinets and shelves, the first steps toward oblivion.
