Otos bookend in white Volakas marble
Otos marble bookend plays on the notion of sculptural minimalism challenging the border between functional Art and sculptural Design. It is ideal for the living-room as well as the working areas. It seems amazing standing alone but when you place your books, the bookend suddenly becomes an extraordinary functional object. This piece that resembles like the end of a shark combines apparent simplicity with rigorous geometry. Handcrafted in pure white Volakas marble in the north of Greece, a place famous for its marble quarries, it pays hommage to the famous Greek ancient civilisation, Acropolis & Parthenon. Natural Volakas marble is a metamorphic rock that morphs from limestone under extreme heat and pressure deep with the earth. It also contains dolomite along with limestone which gives it different colors and tones.The tradition of marble curving & sculpture that draws back thousands of years ago with the famous greek sculptors Phydias & Praxitelis is still live today. Otos marble book stand carved by hand conveys a feel of modernity while presenting the luxury gathered by nature and enhanced by human interpretation. Matt polish finish.
