‘book on book’ by japanese studio tent is a clever, transparent acrylic sheet that doubles as both a paperweight and a design object to keep open a favorite page of a paperback publication. shaped like the open spread of a magazine, the 5mm thick clear panel can be used while reading if your hands are occupied, autonomously holding your place without you having to touch a page. eating sweets and drinking hot beverages while enjoying a read could potentially lead to a precarious situation; the item eliminates the hassle and worry over getting your pages sticky. additionally, it can be used to display a selected page in an art book or photo album, leaving it open on the table for people to view.
