sticklebook was invented by British designer Neil Barron whose messy piles of used paperbacks cluttering his home prompted him to come up with a clever shelving solution.

"This product started from the desire to make a bookshelf which would disappear when books were on it - an invisible bookshelf. My idea for sticklebook didn't arrive immediately - it took six months but when the idea did arrive it was so simple and worked so well that I knew it was right instantly." says Barron.

When he is not inventing ways to cope with everyday life, Barron tutors at the Royal College of Art and runs a design and manufacturing consultancy in London called Gusto Design.

From its humble beginnings in an old railway carriage workshop, sticklebook has since been acclaimed in publications such as The Sunday Times magazine, Independent on Sunday, The Guardian, Blueprint Magazine and Wallpaper. Contemporary design guru, Ron Arad has praised sticklebook by saying "it's new and it's original".

sticklebook has received numerous awards including Show Tours of Britain and at the prestigious European Peugeot Design Awards where it also picked up the 'People's vote'. It has been exhibited as part of the 'Hanger House' Concept House of the Future at the Ideal Home Exhibition in London.
