This Danish set of two bookends from the 1960s is an example of Scandinavian modernism interpreted in an intimate, everyday format. The construction, crafted entirely from solid teak wood, displays a rich reddish-brown color with subtle golden undertones; its satin-matte finish accentuates the pronounced natural grain of the wood. Each bookend features a stylized fish as the central decorative element—geometric, dynamically cut, with smoothly rounded edges and sharp accents that give a contemporary minimalist feel. The eye of each fish is formed by a single contrasting brass or wooden inlay. The body of the bookend is created by joining the base and vertical element into a precisely offset L-shape with perfectly matched corners, reflecting the skill of traditional Danish woodworking.
