The reading rest cleverly incorporates the origami principle, offering quick switching between 3 angles and 3 modes. Whatever materials you want to read, you may simply choose your favourite mode and hit the relax button, enjoy!

 

OUT-OF-THE-"BOX" has developed a new and bold innovation: a multi-mode free fixing concept that makes reading simpler, easier, and smarter.

GREAT value for money

To ensure the quality of the product, we will spare no expense and effort in every aspect of the production. 

Besides the initial development costs of the molds and the customized materials, the production costs of the reading rest include environmentally friendly Premium Vegan Leather. Eco UV Leather Printing is three times more expensive than the usual digital leather printing to maintain the logo durability and reach an accurate, high-quality premium look. 

In addition, each reading rest will need to be carefully assembled by hand to achieve smooth operation and match the patterns. 

Unquestionably, OUT-OF-THE- “BOX” is an ingenious handcraft that combines technology and craftsmanship.

All we want to achieve is a premium, high-quality product that will company you for a long time, anywhere, hands-free. Spice up your life, enhance your productivity, and reduce your neck pain with delicate everyday necessities.

 

Hey! I am Jenny Lin. I am an architect and a designer, the inventor of OUT-OF-THE-"BOX". I am always interested in understanding the background story and the meaning behind every creation. I love to think and am eager to put some bold ideas into practice.

Reading rest allows me to read comfortably and work efficiently. However, it is rare to have a portable reading rest that works well with books, tablets, and phones. 

One day I bought a metal reading rest that I wasn't satisfied with, and at the same time, I received a foldable iPad leather case that felt great in my hand. Interestingly, some of the disadvantages of metal reading rest, such as cold feel, stiff operation, bulky, and not for electronic devices, all seemed to be solved throughout the design of the iPad case. 

I came up with OUT-OF-THE-"BOX". The name reflects the core concept of the product, referring to both the innovative design and the product's "box" form. 

I hope this project can encourage me and everyone to step out of our box in life, be willing to try, dare to think and make the possibility happen!

Please help us spread the word and pledge to us on Kickstarter. Together let's bring OUT-OF-THE-"BOX" live!
