The Design

About Time Book Bichersteip

Time Book ass eng Bichersteip, déi fir de Gebrauch op engem Schreifdësch oder engem Bicherregal entworf gouf. All Bichersteip gëtt aus engem handpoléierte Kristallglasblock hiergestallt. Eng speziell Tënt gëtt am Siebdrock op d'Uewerfläch opgedroen an duerno bei héijer Temperatur ausgehäert. Déi héich Dicht vum Kristallglas gëtt der Bichersteip Stabilitéit am Gebrauch. Den Design ass minimalistesch a Funktioun, Form a Material an erënnert un eng Skulptur a Form vun engem Buch. D'Form weist d'Funktioun kloer. Den gedréckten Text benotzt d'Schrëft Quinsay Parto. D'Buschtawen MMXIX um Réck sinn déi réimesch Zuelen fir 2019.
