Bookend / 2008

Naturally, bookends are made to arrange books vertically to horizontal plane. [Massive] having two slant sides not seen in general, have same shape and three sizes. Each one does not work by itself. Needs to cooperate as a family. Not like a cube, the unique existence impression is shown and diversifying the use of one object.

形の大・中・小3つの木の塊は、本を水平面に対し垂直に並べられることを前提としてつくられる一般的なブックエンドには見られない傾きのある面で構成されている。この傾斜面が1つの塊だけでは意味を成さない、家族のように寄り添いを必要とするブックエンドを生み出すと共に、単なるキューブとは違った特異な存在感を発揮し、1つの塊に潜在している用途を多様化させている。
