Chiasso Hang Up Bookshelf and Magazine Holder

One thing I love to do is draw myself a blistering hot bath and grab a magazine while Mr. Bubble works his magic. So I've always got a small, but varied selection of reading material in the bathroom to persue. The problem is where to keep them nearby, but safely out of reach from too much splash (we only have a tub, no shower, so steam isn't an issue).

Both the Hang Up Magazine and Bookshelf from Chiasso might be a good way to get my inner sanctum of relaxation library organized. I don't think I'd like to keep my books stored in this floating design that puts what seems like too much gravitational stress. But for magazines we read and then dispose/recycle, both of these would be great.

That's clever, but I could not imagine a more destructive way to store a book.

rather a clever way to break a book's binding.

It takes a big man to admit a regular date with Mr Bubble.

Both of these products are from umbra, not surprisingly. The magazine rack isn't listen on their website, but I know that it too is from the umbra range.

Magazines? ok. But NEVER books: bad for the binding and the steam from the tub is just as destructive as from a shower. Humidity and books do NOT mix.
