Cal Bookends

Named for their resemblance to the caltrop—a spiked metal device thrown on the ground to impede vehicles—the Cal Bookends are simply composed of two rounded and polished steel rods, bent and assembled in an artful integration that elegantly supports entire shelves of books. Their reflective chrome-colored surface gives the Cal Bookends a weightless appearance that belies their actual weight of over two pounds, creating a solid resting place for your volumes of art books, journals and magazines. Shipped in two pieces—each composed of two metal bars and a connecting bolt—the pair of 8” tall Cal Bookends are easily assembled to provide a down-to-earth design equally at home on a table, at an office or in your windowsill.
