Bookwheel

Spin a small library of books within reach

A bedside revolving bookcase: a cross spine divides a 250 mm square into four corner bays and a 30 mm lip keeps paperbacks standing spines out. It spins on the ball-bearing base, so sixteen books, a Kindle and reading glasses all come round to your hand.
