Description from the seller
DADI di DESIGN - Bookends
Pair of sculptural cubes made of solid wood, conceived as collectible design objects rather than mere furniture accessories.
The form is reduced to the essential: the cube as primary, stable, measurable volume.
The reference to the die is present abstractly through circular inserts in light wood, distributed across the surfaces with a controlled rhythm. A familiar iconic sign is thus removed from its playful function and transformed into formal language.
The finish deliberately leaves the material visible: grain, color variations, and slight irregularities are not hidden but become an integral part of the object. Each face is different, making each cube unique and non-replicable.
The compact dimensions (14 × 14 × 14 cm) concentrate the visual and material heft of the object, allowing its use as:
sculptural elements for support
material accents on tables, bookcases, or consoles.
Collectible objects in contemporary, minimalist, or wabi-sabi interiors.
The cubes interact with the space in a quiet yet decisive way, not seeking a traditional decorative role. They are designed for contexts where design is chosen for presence and identity, not for immediate function.
