The Philosophy

At STILT, we invite you to open your book and engage with it. We've built a system that honors the codex’s original intent, revealing ideas page by page.

Preserve the dignity of your fine and rare book collection with a book support designed with preservation and sustainability in mind.

Preservation-focused Design

Our book mounts reflect careful consideration of the essential factors for safe, sustainable use, exhibition, and design requirements of rare and precious books.

With a practical focus on real-world contexts, our cradles and supports strike a balance between preservation and display, enabling bound volumes to be protected while allowing their beauty and significance to be fully appreciated.

With a collapsible, lightweight design, STILTS store flat and are always ready when you need them, whether at your desk, in a reading room, or packed for the next book fair or pop-up exhibition.
Minimal weight and volume make the Cradle easy to carry alongside your laptop or ship flat with your books. It’s the perfect companion for book research trips and traveling exhibitions.
Reduce unnecessary handling of delicate materials by moving the Cradle instead of the book. This is an especially valuable feature during round-table reviews and collaborative showings.
Available in a variety of opening angles, our Cradles let you choose the safest, most supportive configuration for the book at hand. Our angle choices conform to museum and library standards for safe display and access.
Built to last—just like the books they protect—our Cradles offer a durable, sustainable solution to the challenge of book support. Easy to store, retrieve, reuse, and transport, we can promise you that they won’t be collecting dust in the corner of your storage room.
It may seem like a small detail, but we believe thoughtful, practical design like this plays a meaningful role in helping cultural heritage institutions achieve their sustainability goals now and into the future.
