Super Periodical Reading Combo
You are going to have basically a totally amazing time when you get your hands on this paper accessory combo. You’ve got the Magazine Hanger for one: It allows you to display the magazines you’re currently into on the wall like a coat rack, with the string and the ball at the end holding them up for easy access. Then to hold the magazines or your newspaper down to peek at, you’ve got the Newspaper Table: a dimple and a stick to get you on your way to flat reading in the waiting room pleasure!
The Newspaper Table would certainly be a welcome addition to libraries across the world. In fact, it’s so simple and nice, I’m really surprised it hasn’t been invented previous to this. Brilliance or did I.Y.Chen and I not investigate our homework enough?
And the Magazine Hanger. The Magazine Hanger has got to be my favorite way to display just such a periodical. It decorates and de-clutters, and reminds you to get rid of old mags when they’re out of date.
Reading rainbow!
Designer: Isaac Yu Chen

yoyoMan says
Wow.. simple, elegant, easy on resources and practical. Great job!
Quick question when it’s empty can you swing the balls like the Collision Balls Pendulum?

check out Isaac’s portfolio, he has some very nice and elegant work.
I definitely love the magazine holder, it’s something that I would buy for myself. It’s a “make you smile” and ingenious item that creative people sought after.
great work!

Pardon my intelligence, but how does the magazine holder actually work? How can a magazine hold its position on a ball? I first thought that two balls are holding it’s position, but I don’t think I’m correct on that…
I really like its elegance and simplicity though.
matt says
kwang — i was actually stuck on it myself for a minute.
the key is…..the ball is on a wire/string and you thread that through the middle of the magazine. therefore the magazine hunches to its side for gravitational balance when it seems “floating”
hope that helps!

Hello guys…
I’m the designer of the original magazine hanger.
I think Yu Chen’s looks too similar to my 2001 design.
Thanks for the link hT.
