Little Free Library Design Competition - Chronicle Books Award, Award
From Chronicle Books:
"This award was chosen by the Chronicle Books creative team with a focus on production potential. It had the additional guidelines of needing to be flat packed, not weighing more than 42lbs (19kg), and using only environmentally conscious materials.
"'The components flat pack easily, and the hinging construction of the frame streamlines assembly. Simply unfold the base frame, attach the flanges, and construct the cabinet and seat according to an instruction pamphlet using provided hardware. In effect, this design maximizes the functionality of the book kiosk as a means of emphasizing its role as an intersection of community and learning, while elegantly maintaining ease of assembly.
Reading books increases our capacity for empathy. Through the written words of another person, we are able to experience life from vantage points totally different from our own. In doing this, we enhance our ability to sympathize with various worldviews that would otherwise be totally alien to us.'
"The Chronicle Books team thought this was a thoughtful and impressive alignment of style and substance, and that the materials chosen were very smart from a production standpoint."
