Penguin Donkey Bookcase
This is an iconic bookcase from ISOKON, designed by Egon Riss in 1939. This storage rack is made of birch plywood, which has beautiful laminated surfaces that age gracefully, and is formed into artistic curves. It was named "Donkey" because the two shelves on either side and the four legs resembled a donkey carrying panniers. Later, it was renamed "Penguin Donkey" because it perfectly fit books from the British publisher "Penguin paperbacks." The curved lines of the molded plywood stand out, making it a symbolic item of ISOKON. In addition to its uniquely charming design, its ease of use is also appealing. With storage available on both sides, shelves with dividers, and a removable small top board, this storage unit can be used for a variety of purposes.Source: https://metrocs.jp/
