More pep for the bookshelf

I've already come across numerous bookends, but they haven't stuck in my head. Now the Scandinavian brand "Hübsch" has launched a series on the market that has won me over with its design for the first time.

For years, I was like a pearl diver in the sea looking for bookends that I liked and would brighten up my shelf. Apart from the usual suspects like the metal ones, I rarely came across an unusual design that suited my style of living. Until I came across the beautifully designed bookends from Hübsch. They are curved, colourful and transparent. The best thing: they don't cover the beautiful spines or covers of my favourite magazines.

Gustav, Geltar and co. are minimalist and timeless bookends that resemble a sculpture. They stand alone and adorn any piece of furniture. Depending on the angle of view, they look like a flat disc, even though they are three-dimensional. The helpers may look light, but they have the necessary weight to keep the books in check. At the same time, the transparency ensures that the objects blend in with their surroundings. Figurative, practical, good.

I regularly pick out pearls from the Galaxus range. Follow me if you want to be up to date. <p
