BookBook Laptop Case By Twelve South


BookBook is a one-of-a-kind, hardback leather case designed exclusively for MacBook and MacBook Pro. The BookBook has a hard shell and a rigid spine to keep your MacBook from being crushed, and is lined with soft fabric to keep it from being scratched. The vintage book design also disguises your MacBook from been stolen, because nobody want to steal an old book.

Henrik Persson

Swedish designer Henrik Persson of Become just brought this lovely book package to our attention. I love the amount of work and thought that went into this custom piece. More detailed photos after the jump.

 

“The book weighs 16 kgs (half meter high when standing on floor) and comes in a vertical standing packaging/display stand made in perspex that literally looks like a building/skyscraper.”
