We are lifelong bibliophiles. Shelves filled with books line our studio walls and more are stacked on every surface. We admire their design, scrutinize their typography, fetishize their paper and analyze their binding. We read them for research, for inspiration, for the sheer pleasure of exploring new worlds of thought and experience. So naturally, we were pleased to meet these stunning sculptural bookends.

Hand-cast in pigmented gypsum cement in Oakland, California. Each cast is handmade. As the concrete settles uniquely for each pour, no two are the same. 

Sold as a set of 2

Designed by California-based UMÉ Studio, a multidisciplinary design practice founded by designer/architects Victor Lefebvre and Mei-Lan Tan. Their spirit of curiosity, love of fine details, and a willingness to throw out convention, while honoring tradition, informs everything they do. Named to Forbes 30 under 30. 

We stock several UMÉ Studio products, find the full collection here. 

While these bookends are made of high quality cement and durable when cared for properly, they are inherently delicate by design. Keep away from liquids.

We are pleased to offer the option of a free handwritten message on one of our signature gold edged notecards. Enter your text in the "Click here to add any order notes or gift messages” box on the first page of checkout. Notecards are only available to certain products; anything shipped from our rubber stamp warehouse is not eligible for a handwritten notecard, but if you enter a message in the box at checkout it will be printed on the packing slip. 
These carefully chosen and crafted pieces represent a considered mix of the esoteric and the highly pragmatic. Many of these simple things reflect the hand of the artisan or the quiet genius of the inventor. They are useful in ways that are difficult to quantify but, if pressed, we would say they make life a little more efficient and a lot more beautiful.

We have curated a selection of books to offer our audience, based on our interests and yours. Most of our books are limited editions or out of print, they are seldom available in the US, and not available on Amazon. 

The fact that we have now launched our own imprint seems an inevitable extension. Wms&Co. books are created in collaboration with the interesting characters, visionaries and designers we encounter. Subject matter varies wildly but is always infused with the spirit of creativity and a respect for good design.

All books are final sale: non-refundable and non-exchangable. 

 

We would be great together -
