Buffer Bookend
Storm Pink
Massproductions presents its latest product in The Little Things collection – Buffer, a bookend made of powder-coated steel.
Bookends aren’t just for holding books, they are like mini pieces of art with a history. They’ve been around since ancient times, made from all sorts of materials like stone, metal, and wood.
When Massproductions’ founder and design chief, Chris Martin, designed the Buffer bookend, he drew inspiration from the railway’s “buffer stop,” a device that halts trains at the end of the track. During the design process, Chris explored various materials before settling on powder-coated steel.
“The idea of referencing a railway buffer for the design was a good starting point but I explored quite a few materials and shapes before I came to a pleasing solution, in the end 8mm steel plates gave the best weight, function and expression”
The bookend consists of three laser-cut steel plates made from 20% recycled steel from Finland. With a weight of over 1.7 kg and non-slip feet, the bookend stands firmly in the bookshelf.
