01 / A drawing, put to use
A small gesture.
An everyday place.
Two forms hold a space without filling it. Their curved outer profiles face away from the books, while the quiet inner planes do the practical work. Broken circles and errant lines suggest that balance is a negotiation, not a perfect symmetry. The interval between the pair belongs to whatever is being read.
02 / Form & function
Useful, without
being ordinary.
These are design targets, not confirmed measurements of finished stock. W = width, D = depth, H = height.

- Size target
- Approx. 10 W x 11 D x 16 H cm per piece
- Intended use
- Support a small group of books on a stable shelf.

- Weight
- To be measured on a finished prototype.
