About Time Book Bókastoð
Time Book er bókastoð hönnuð til notkunar á skrifborði eða í bókahillu. Hver bókastoð er gerð úr handpússuðum kristalglersblokk. Sérstakt blek er silkiprentað á yfirborðið og hert við hátt hitastig. Mikill þéttleiki kristalglersins veitir bókastoðinni stöðugleika í notkun. Hönnunin er naumhyggjuleg í virkni, formi og efni og minnir á skúlptúr í bókarlíki. Formið sýnir virknina á skýran hátt. Prentaði textinn notar leturgerðina Quinsay Parto. Stafirnir MMXIX á kilinum eru rómverskar tölur fyrir 2019.
