Features
Cut from high-quality steel, bookends offer excellent rigidity for holding library books as well as certain intermediate-sized works.
Perfect self-locking stability is ensured by the weight of the books on the bookend's inner tongue and thanks to non-slip silicone glides attached to the underside of the base.
The paint finish is matte. The black color allows the bookends to match a wide range of interior decorations.
The powder-coating process used for painting provides a high-quality coating.
The protection of furniture and shelves against scratches is ensured by the quality of the glides.
The steel material used in the manufacture of the bookends offers ideal strength and longevity with no risk of degradation.
Metal decoration that benefits from the precision advantages of an industrial laser-cutting machine suited to the manufacture of finely cut interior decorations for small production runs.
The creative process from initial sketches to final manufacture is fully handled by us.

Pierre and Marie Curie: A Scientific Duo Who Revolutionized Physics and Chemistry
Pierre Curie and Marie Curie, an exceptional scientific couple, made important contributions to science and the discovery of radioactivity. Their work had a lasting impact on physics and chemistry, and ultimately led to them being awarded the Nobel Prize twice. In 1898, the Curies discovered two new radioactive elements, polonium and radium, by extracting these substances from uranium-containing minerals. This revolutionary discovery revolutionized the understanding of the structure of matter and opened the way for new research into radioactivity. In recognition of their pioneering discoveries, Pierre and Marie Curie were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903. They were the first recipients of this prestigious award, becoming pioneers of scientific recognition in the field of radioactivity.
In 1911, Marie Curie received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her research on radium and polonium. She became the first person to win two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific disciplines, an extraordinary feat. The Curies' work on radioactivity also had important medical implications. They developed methods to use radioactivity in the treatment of cancer, laying the foundation for modern radiotherapy. Sadly, Pierre Curie lost his life in a tragic accident in 1906, but Marie Curie continued to work for science and teach at the University of Paris. His dedication to research and education has inspired many generations of scientists. Curie's legacy is immense, both in terms of scientific discoveries and contributions to the advancement of medical research.
Their names remain engraved in the history of science, symbolizing the commitment and perseverance necessary to push the frontiers of knowledge.

Environmental Protection
The bookends are cut from recycled steel sheets and upcycled steel. Steel is a 100% recyclable material.
The painting technique uses pigments that contain no solvents or similar substances. The pigments are applied through an electrostatic deposition process and then fixed by passing through an oven heated to around 280°C.
The cardboard and paper used for packaging are made from fully recyclable natural products.
