I am Wave Cast Iron Bookends. The world is running out of books like it’s running out of water. It’s time to make some waves for change.

Curator's Notes 

I like the unusual shape of these bookends. They are interesting from all angles. From the front the lines are thin and elegant and from the sides they look wide and substantial.
