Bookish shelf
Warwick, England, 2018
Ash
90 × 18 × 18 cm
Crafted from ash wood, this sculptural bookshelf features a striking quote from The Zahir by Jorge Luis Borges: a story that explores the fine line between inspiration and obsession. In Borges’s world, the tiger becomes a symbol of the imagination: beautiful, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. Much like this piece, it invites reflection and sparks curiosity.
A perfect choice for creatives, readers, and dreamers alike, this bookshelf brings literature and craftsmanship together in a powerful and poetic form.
Other available quotes are:
“Anyone who isn’t confused doesn’t fully understand the situation”, Ed Murrow.
“There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them”, Joseph Brodsky
“Stat rosa pristina nomine, nomina nuda tenemus", Umberto Eco.
