Bookend series - Onend
Bookend for one book
Design by yang kyung seob
Users take the book off the shelf and read it on the desk or bed. However, since users do not read the book all at once, the book that they have always read is put on the bookmark and put on the book top or side table.
Onend is a bookend that can be used as a stand-alone, bookmarked book for one book.
When the users read the book and put it on the table, they lay the book down. Then the flat area of the book goes down and occupies a large area of the table.The stand-by method reduces the area occupied by the book on the table, and the remaining space can be utilized in other ways.
I have tested how well the book can be put through various prototypes. There are three things that focus on prototypes. It is designed to produce products efficiently in angle, shape, and manufacturing process and to focus on the characteristics of materials and shapes. As a result, the bending process was selected and fabricated.
The center of the bookend is bent at 80 degrees, so that even if the book is mounted, the edge of the book does not come into contact with the bottom of the bookend.
Mock up
It is made of two types of copper and brass.
