Hold your favourite, most beautiful books together with the Emoji bookend. Instead of storing them away, put them in the spotlight on your shelf. Emoji comes in a set of two with the possibility to place them horizontal or vertical. A real must-have for every bookworm.
In a world where digital rules, Alain Gilles takes us back to the analogue feeling of reading books. Resembling a smiley face, the bookend is named Emoji and comes in a set of two. From the historical city of the Taj Mahal, the white or black marble show different structures, as it is a natural stone.
A simple yet expressive shape for a book end. A contrast between weight and weightlessness, solidity and detailing, and yet general line close the classical typology of book ends.
The two curves create curved planes and a subtle play of lights, and help define the dual movement in this sculptural shape.
The Emoji book ends have two different personalities, since they can be placed with their longer side up to support larger books, or resting on their longer sides if the books happen to be small.
The hand finished nature may cause variations in the finish.

After studying Political Sciences and Marketing Management, Alain Gilles went on to work in the international financial world for 5 years. But one has to live his own life. So, thanks to the moral support of his wife, he went back to studying Industrial design in France.
He opened his own studio in late 2007 in order to pursue his own dreams and develop his personal approach to product design, furniture design, art direction and scenography. He has since started to collaborate with several international editors such as Qui est Paul?, Galerie Gosserez Paris, Magnitude, O’Sun, La Chance, Evolution, Buzzispace, Casamania and Bonaldo.
Several of his products have been awarded international prices, such as the Henry Van De Velde Label, the Design for Asia Golden Award, The “Red Dot Best of the Best” for the Welded table and the Good Design award for the Big Table.
In 2012, he was named 'Designer of the Year' by the prestigious Interieur Kortrijk Fair.
