Superhero Guarding Your Favorite Books: Exquisite Bookends by Artori Design

Some book lovers are particularly careful with storing their favorite authors and stories, with making sure their best reads are safe from damaging exterior factors. Israel-based studio Artori Design envisioned Book&Hero and Supershelf, a pair of bookends that create the illusion of books being constantly guarded by a superhero. We love how the black silhouette contrasts the colorful book covers, resulting in a fun addition for a home or office. The crazy addition can be used vertically or horizontally, according to the design needs of the user.

Here is an excerpt from the official project description: “Supershelf is a cool floating shelf which gives the impression of a superhero holding the books aloft, preventing them from falling to the ground. The base is concealed by the books and the superhero is affixed via a magnet to the base to give the item its dynamic appearance. A magnet is employed to suspend the superhero in the air, giving the impression of him ‘saving’ the books from an imminent fall.” The imaginative project weighs 350 grams and you can purchase it online on the designers’ website for $25. A fair price for an exquisite gift, wouldn’t you agree?
