Jasper Morrison Penguin Huddle

I like Jasper Morrison's work. I like how Penguin covers look in an interior design setting. Therefore I like this.

It's called the Jasper Morrison Penguin Huddle. It's a neat little invention that clasps your books together so you can stand them up. Like a portable book shelf when you have the books but not the shelf. It's an elegant simple piece of design and it feels clever.

But it's a hundred quid. Which is a lot of money, but then I don't really know what the correct pricing would be for this. You could use mugs you had lying around and they would be free, but on the other hand one second hand Penguin book from a shop that sells Penguin books for an interior design setting probably costs £100 these days. Plus £5 for the coffee.

And who actually displays books like this? People with enough room to have spare room on the "side" who probably have a spare £100. I dunno.

Maybe you could use it for other things. It feels like you could. That would be fun. Anyway.

I have a different take on a Penguin cover display: https://www.flickr.com/photos/robsog/272271461/in/dateposted-public/ I guess I could put a Penguin Huddle on top. Penguins all the way down...
