According to certain philosophies, decor should only exist in its relation to the things that show off a homeowner's personality, and in that regard, Sun at Six's 'Rise Bookstand' is a perfect accessory. The [minimal stand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yohann) is designed to carry anything from [books to magazines to records](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astropads-new-bookcase), and its simplicity allows it to show off the wares that it holds rather than drawing attention to itself.

The Rise Bookstand from Sun at Six comes in white oak, with two different finishes: one that shows off the natural color of the wood and another that stains it slightly darker. The shape consists of little more than a [right angle tilted](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firm-book-end) so the point aims directly downward, and books rest on it with their covers outward and upward. This allows people to get a good look at the reading interests of those who make use of the bookstand.
