Perched on plywood

WORDS: Remy Raitt


Straight from RAW Studios in Pretoria, the Standup laptop stand is a convenient and easy-to-use pine accessory that will prop up your computer when you’re on the go.

Keep your laptop free from dirt when you’re catching up on emails at a coffee shop, or use this flatpack perch permanently at your desk. Either way, it’s simple to assemble.

“We’ve made it collapsible by using a simple twist joint, and conveniently clipped the bits together so you don’t lose them when you’re mobile,” says designer Peet van Straaten, who is also known for his innovative wood lockers.

The Standup is yet another clever wood item from Peet. Since 2005, when he began Raw Studios, he has created a host of client-driven designs that are influenced by user needs, production processes and modular expansion.
