STILT® Stage

Give your book centre stage.

Our Stage was born of a challenge given to us by Daniel Crouch Rare Books. They commissioned us to build 80º supports for the famous Audubon’s Birds of America. Bindings of one full meter in height and weighing in at a hefty 27 kilograms, this was no small feat.

We quickly realized how useful the Stage design could be for larger, heavier volumes and now we offer them in three different standard sizes.

Core Material

Our Stage is made of conservation-grade core cellulose material, compliant with EN ISO 9706.

Angle

Your book is held at an 80º forward tilting angle and supported on a 10º base..

Wings

The Stage comes with a selection of STILT Wings of varying thicknesses which can be stacked in the space between the textblock and the book board to support the textblock of your book.

Book Sizes

Our Stages come in 4 sizes: Quarto, Folio, Elephant Folio and Royal Elephant.

All of our Stages are purposefully designed to fit their corresponding Cradle size. This maximizes on both strength, elegance and while honouring our modular product line design.

For particularly long and heavy books, we advise you to choose a size larger than your book size. Contact us if you need help finding the right size for your book.
