MBK is a mobile bookshop designed for the sale and consultation of books during cultural events, both indoors and outdoors. The project takes the form of a compact structure on wheels, designed to be easily moved and installed. MBK provides an autonomous display system for presenting books across different cultural contexts.

The structure integrates multiple functions within a single volume, including book display surfaces, a seating area for consultation and central storage drawers. Mobility is ensured by a rolling chassis, allowing quick setup. A sunshade can be added to adapt the system for outdoor use.

MBK was exhibited in 2024 as part of the exhibition Design(s): Mobility & Territory, organized by HiFlow. The project was presented as a reflection on the mobility of cultural display systems and their ability to adapt to different territories and uses.
