About Time Book Grāmatu balsts

Time Book ir grāmatu balsts, kas paredzēts lietošanai uz rakstāmgalda vai grāmatu plaukta. Katrs grāmatu balsts ir izgatavots no ar rokām pulēta kristāla stikla bloka. Uz virsmas ar sietspiedes tehniku tiek uzklāta īpaša tinte, kas tiek nostiprināta augstā temperatūrā. Kristāla stikla augstais blīvums nodrošina grāmatu balsta stabilitāti lietošanā. Dizains ir minimālistisks funkcijas, formas un materiāla ziņā un atgādina grāmatas formas skulptūru. Forma skaidri atspoguļo funkciju. Drukātajā tekstā izmantots Quinsay Parto burtveidols. Burti MMXIX uz muguriņas ir 2019. gada apzīmējums romiešu cipariem.
