Décor Objects Solid stone, so they actually hold books up Two L-shaped blocks cut from real travertine. Each weighs over two kilos, which is the only specification that matters in a bookend. 2.2 kg each Heavy enough to hold a full shelf. Light bookends slide and the row collapses. Real travertine Cut from stone, not resin cast. Every pair has different pitting and grain. Felt base Protects a wooden shelf and stops them scratching as you move them. Low L profile The foot slides under the first book so the weight is on your side. 01 — The weight The only spec that counts Bookends fail because they are light. Two kilos of stone against a leaning row of hardbacks does not move, which is the entire job. 02 — The stone Travertine has holes The natural pitting is the material, not a defect. It is what tells you this was cut rather than moulded from stone dust and resin. 03 — The alternative use They work as objects Because they are solid stone with a clean profile, a pair sitting on a sideboard with nothing between them still looks deliberate.
