ABOUT PRODUCTID 2695
These bookends, shaped as a split Volkswagen Beetle, were produced in the Netherlands during the 1970s. Made from white ceramic with a matte, slightly warm finish, they feature compact, geometric silhouettes. The car’s simplified outline, highlighted by subtle reliefs—fenders, headlights, wheels—breaks the solidity of the block forms. There are no additional decorations or color accents, reinforcing the minimalist approach. The monolithic construction, smooth texture, and precisely finished edges place these pieces within the context of postmodern decorative objects of the 1970s. There are no visible signs of use, restoration, or repairs, confirming both authenticity and attention to detail. The bookends evoke a playful spirit and a sense of gentle nostalgia. The Beetle motif recalls journeys and movement, bringing a touch of lightness reminiscent of pop-art interpretations of everyday objects. The matte ceramic surface softens the light, while the geometric proportions suggest order and calm. This set subtly references freedom, childhood memories, or an affinity for classic forms. These bookends can be used in a home library or living room, supporting books on open shelves or sideboards. They may be paired with other elements of simple form—such as a light wood bookcase, glass vessels, or neutral-toned textiles. In spaces with diffused lighting and a warm-colored wall, the ceramics gain visual softness. They also work well alongside potted plants or minimalist posters, serving as a discreet accent that draws the eye without dominating the surroundings.
