A modern, minimalist pair of geometric concrete bookends featuring a bold 45-degree faceted face. The project is centered on building two high-precision, reusable or easily-strippable molds from melamine-faced particleboard, incorporating a clever mitered corner block insert to form clean, crisp geometric edges. The heavy weight of the concrete provides superior stability for holding up large books, while the smooth-cast surfaces and felt bottoms protect your shelving.
