Modular Book Mounts

Overview

Designed a reusable, modular exhibition mount system for books to replace single-use mounts. The system supports various book sizes and adjustable viewing angles while improving sustainability and setup efficiency.

The Problem

Existing mounts were single-use, not adjustable, and time-intensive to produce, leading to waste and high costs for exhibitions with varied book sizes.

Constraints

• Non-damaging support for book spines and pages
• Adjustable opening and elevation angles
• Repeatable, tool-free setup for exhibitions

Technical Approach

• Parametric design for size ranges and angle adjustability
• Modular, interchangeable subcomponents for reuse
• Rapid prototyping to validate stability and ergonomics

Tools & Technologies

Impact & Results

Reduced setup time and material waste with reusable mounts adaptable to a wide range of book sizes and exhibition layouts.

Key Learnings

Designing for reusability and adjustability early leads to better lifecycle performance and faster exhibition workflows.
