There was a time when people described inanimate objects as “smart”, to indicate a certain level of class and appeal. The Book Stop by Cubo3 are simple bookends meant to evoke humor in a playful way. You know what? They look “smart” if I do say so myself; not because they’re cute, but because they’re reading. Clever clever. They’re made of double metal lamina and you can get them in many colors. Just hit up their site.

Reading books vs Listening music, same concept.
Nice graphic use of the sheet metal – gives an aesthetic without costing an arm & a leg to make. If graphic were further simplified, it would be even easier to make without laser cutting.
Anyone know where I can buy these?
