PEEK A BOOK
Read, Store, Discover - All in one place
A Project by Sudhanshu, Aditha, Ghaya
Peek A Book is an innovative library furniture piece designed for seamless
accessibility. Its circular structure allows books to be stacked on two sides, while the other
two sides provide dedicated reading spaces. Designed for both functionality and aesthetics,
it encourages an interactive and immersive reading experience, making libraries more
engaging and user-friendly.
Challenges
Students face the challenge of limited space to review books
comfortably before deciding to borrow them
The current setup often lacks designated areas where students can
stand, explore the content, and assess if the book meets their needs.
A furniture solution is needed to provide a standing
area where students can efficiently examine books without using
seated study spaces, enhancing library functionality
and user experience.
