Looking into the past for inspiration Twelve South has announced a revamp to the Book Arc, their first product on their release schedule, and updated it for 2024.

The BookArc is a vertical laptop stand that helps to maximise space on your desk without sacrificing aesthetics. BookArc helped solidify Twelve South’s foundations, today becoming even stronger with the unveiling of Twelve South BookArc Flex.

BookArc Flex is a stunningly beautiful vertical MacBook stand that holds your MacBook while connected to a monitor. It cradles the Mac you have now and in the future by automatically adjusting to any size MacBook up to 1 inch thick without additional inserts.

Humble Beginnings

The original BookArc was introduced back in 2009, creating a vertical stand category with it. Becoming a staple product from the brand, many of the desk setup shots on social media and roundups feature a BookArc. With design being the main differentiator on the market, modern architecture served as inspiration, with the final product now reflecting elegance whilst remaining a minimalist piece of art.

Create a comfortable, powerful desktop setup

Spend a lot of time at a desk with your laptop? Use BookArc Flex to turn your laptop into a powerful mini desktop. This tiny stand makes room for a full-size keyboard, mouse and external monitor, improving comfort and productivity. Taking your laptop to a meeting or home for the night is as simple as unplugging it and lifting it out of BookArc Flex.

Small desk? Big monitor? No problem.

By holding your MacBook vertically, BookArc Flex frees up space for that big display you’ve been dreaming of. You can even slide BookArc Flex and your MacBook behind your monitor to save even more space. Need to take your MacBook on the road? Just unplug it and go.

 

Minimal design for maximum focus

Perhaps the real beauty of BookArc Flex is that it allows you to use one large display. Whether you’re editing a video, writing a blog post, or diving deep into a Numbers sheet, having one big screen helps you laser focus on the project. Using your MacBook in Closed Display Mode is a thing of beauty in itself.

Future-proof design

BookArc Flex is designed to hold your MacBook or laptop without additional adjustments or extra inserts (compatible with most laptops with screens up to 16″ and less than 1 inch thick). So this stand will hold the laptop you own now and the laptop you’ll upgrade to next year. How sweet is that?

BookArc Flex will be available shortly on twelvesouth.com.au for AUD$79.95 (Black and White) and AUD$99.95 (Chrome). Retail availability is expected to expand in the coming months.
