The E15 AC11 Stop Book End - Onyx has a striking aesthetic created by the beautiful polished stone. The whorls and patterns give the piece a sense of natural motion, contrasting with the angular, geometric form. Simultaneously embodying the joyous maximalism of Art Deco, but tempered by the minimalist influences of mid-century modern design, the book end makes an ideal desk of shelf accessory.
