Weight, in the shape of a soft arch
Carved travertine with a clean vertical slot. Slide in a novel, a journal or a cookbook and the stone holds it open and upright — hands-free reading, or simply a book displayed as an object rather than stacked as clutter.
Use one as a stand or a pair to frame a shelf of hardbacks. Rounded edges, warm sand tones and real mass mean it stays where you put it and reads well against pale oak, linen and clay.
- Materials: carved travertine stone
- Two sizes — see the size selector
- Small: 10 × 5 × 12.5 cm ⬝ Large: 10 × 5 × 20 cm

Questions
Frequently asked questions
The slot takes most paperbacks and standard hardbacks. The large size handles thicker cookbooks and art books comfortably.
The base is finished smooth, but stone is stone. A felt pad underneath is a sensible precaution on a polished surface.
Small at 12.5 cm suits a desk or bedside. Large at 20 cm suits a shelf and holds heavier books upright.
