Product description
A refined pair of sculptural ceramic bookends, attributed to European modernist design of the late 1970s.
The expressive hand-shaped form elevates a functional object into a collectible design piece, balancing organic modernism with a subtle architectural presence typical of this period.
Crafted in glossy glazed ceramic, the bookends feature a hollow, fillable construction with original stoppers, allowing them to be weighted for stability – a characteristic detail of studio-influenced and serial European design objects from the 1970s.
