About Time Book Serre-livres
Time Book est un serre-livres conçu pour être utilisé sur un bureau ou une étagère. Chaque serre-livres est réalisé à partir d'un bloc de verre cristal poli à la main. Une encre spéciale est sérigraphiée sur la surface puis polymérisée à haute température. La forte densité du verre cristal confère au serre-livres une grande stabilité à l'usage. Le design est minimaliste tant par sa fonction que par sa forme et son matériau, et s'apparente à une sculpture en forme de livre. La forme exprime clairement la fonction. Le texte imprimé utilise la police de caractères Quinsay Parto. Les lettres MMXIX figurant sur le dos correspondent au chiffre romain de l'année 2019.
