[The Weight of Knowledge Series - Reading] CHU,an Design - Sculptural Bookend

**《Reading》** "Reading makes the mind full, just as exercise makes the body strong. Reading enriches our lives." -- Homage to Irish writer Richard Steele **《The Weight of Knowledge Series》CHU,an Design** Marble, rising from the earth, transforms into the shape of books, carrying the weight of knowledge and revealing its solid strength. But who says reading has to be a serious affair? Tiny, adorable animals frolic amongst the books, a playful chase between cat and mouse, like capturing fleeting moments from the pages. Begin here, feel the weight of knowledge, and experience the joy of reading. These 360-degree, three-dimensional stone sculptures serve as bookends, offering a different form and aesthetic from every angle, presenting 360 ways to display them with joy and style. Each piece is sculpted by the designer and then meticulously crafted by artisans. They use marble powder of varying grit sizes, hand-mixed and molded, then intricately carved. Because the works are composed of stone powder with different particle sizes, the texture shimmers with a bright luster under light, showcasing the stone's unique fine quality. The stone-plastic material is hard, durable, and retains its form, making it easy to clean and maintain. The creator's intention finds its vessel in the stone; the marble's warm touch and smooth texture convey the warmth of the artisan's hands, and communicate the spirit of "reading"—to explore the vast world together and absorb the beauty of life. **Optional gold leaf embellishment service available, requires 3 business days.** If you wish to add gold leaf, please contact us before placing your order! | Product Information | • Material: Composite Stone • Dimensions: 8.5 x 9 x (H) 13 cm • Weight: Net Weight 0.8 kg ★ Each piece is signed by the designer. ★ Exquisite Gift Box Packaging A sturdy, lidded gift box with a poetry card inside.
