The Sledgecorner 'Bookpouf' Turns Literature into a Seating Solution

— September 24, 2018 — Art & Design
The Sledgecorner 'Bookpouf' is a customizable solution for the home that can be paired with your choice of components to create a completely personalized piece of decor.

The stool is the design work of Anton Sleeuwenhoek and is comprised of stacked books that will securely support the sitter as they take a moment to relax. The design requires users to integrate their own books into the stool for it to be finished, which acts as a way to store extra literature and keep it in view to let users see what they have on hand to read.

The Sledgecorner 'Bookpouf' stool brings character to a space and enhances storage capabilities for those who live in smaller spaces that require creative solutions to storing essentials.
