carl aubock bookends

hmmm, well, i really like these bookends from austrian moderist carl aubock because they’re clean - based on a mid century design. i like how they disappear when in use to the viewer can concentrate on the books. they’re made of cast brass, so they have some heft to them. i also enjoy their organic shape, which serves a practical purpose of accommodating tall or small sized books.

$498 at design within reach. on sale.

that’s the only part i don’t like.

zid zid kids

i am just a skinch miffed at seeing these glamorous/cute elephant bookends from zid zid kids in my reader, because now i think i need to do an elephant post. until that comes along, please enjoy this pair. they’re filled with polyfill to satisfy any stuffie cravings, and also with sand, so they should be able to get the job done in a child’s library.

i think they’re super little sculptures, in addition to being functional.

find them for $64 and see the rest of zid zid’s fabulous kid’s line at design public.
