The Design

About Time Book Suxeitalibros

Time Book é un suxeitalibros deseñado para usar nun escritorio ou nun andel. Cada suxeitalibros está feito dun bloque de vidro de cristal pulido a man. Na superficie serigráfase unha tinta especial que se cura a alta temperatura. A alta densidade do vidro de cristal dálle ao suxeitalibros estabilidade no uso. O deseño é minimalista en función, forma e material, e semella unha escultura con forma de libro. A forma presenta a función con claridade. O texto impreso emprega a tipografía Quinsay Parto. As letras MMXIX no lombo son os numerais romanos para 2019.
