The Moai bookend combines sculptural artistry with functional design through two interlocking solid walnut wood forms mounted on granite plinths. When unified, the pieces form a single enigmatic sculpture, while separation reveals a pair of functional bookends with sleek, blade-like silhouettes. The surface features intricate hatched chiseling, adding tactility and visual depth to the walnut oil finish. Designed by Patrick Norguet, the construction reflects traditional woodcarving techniques with a refined, minimalist profile suited to shelf display.
In celebration of a century of Zanat, French designer Patrick Norguet presents a matching pair of objects that embody the duality of beauty and function. Composed of two sculpted, interlocking forms of solid walnut wood on granite plinths, the 'Moai' bookend produces an enigmatic sculpture when unified, and functional bookends when separated. Sleek, blade-like silhouettes create striking symmetry, and slip easily onto shelves for a minimalist look. A surface design of intricate hatched chiseling adds tactility and depth. Presented in a walnut oil hue, 'Moai' reflects the dedication to craftsmanship, artistry, and woodcarving traditions at the heart of the Bosnian brand.
