01 / The idea behind the object
The space between two forms
Rather than treating books as a row to be hidden, this pair frames the interval they occupy. One pale body and one dark body establish a quiet contrast; their wandering lines resist the strict geometry of a shelf. The proposal brings a small sculptural composition into the repeated act of taking a book down and returning it.
02 / Form & material
Considered in
the small details.
Design targets, not measurements of finished stock. Dimensions, weight, materials, contents and packaging will be confirmed after physical trials. W = width, D = depth, H = height. Irregular forms are described by their approximate overall dimensions.
- Object
- Sculptural bookends / pair
- Size target
- Approx. 8 W x 9 D x 13 H cm each
- Material direction
- Two-tone mineral composite; protective contact pads proposed.
- Surface
- Integral mineral colour and inset or surface-applied pigment marks; a matte protective finish is proposed.
- Weight
- To be measured on a finished prototype; no weight specification is currently confirmed.
- Intended use
- For a modest row of books on a level shelf. Each piece is intended to work independently as well as in a pair.
- Fit & durability
- Total weight, shelf grip and resistance to tipping must be established with physical prototypes. Not proposed for restraining unusually heavy or tall books.
- Availability
- Coming soon. No orders, reservations or release date are currently offered.
