The Design

About Time Book Aparador de livros

Time Book é um aparador de livros concebido para utilização numa secretária ou numa estante. Cada aparador é feito a partir de um bloco de vidro cristal polido à mão. Uma tinta especial é serigrafada na superfície e curada a alta temperatura. A elevada densidade do vidro cristal confere ao aparador estabilidade durante a utilização. O design é minimalista na função, na forma e no material, assemelhando-se a uma escultura em forma de livro. A forma apresenta a função com clareza. O texto impresso utiliza o tipo de letra Quinsay Parto. As letras MMXIX na lombada correspondem ao numeral romano de 2019.
