Almost aeronautical in its refined, streamlined form, yet of surprising heft, this is the perfect page-keeper for avid readers and for cooks who need to keep recipes well displayed. Retailers, architects and others who refer frequently to splayed texts and papers are also likely to find it indispensable. At the risk of cliché, we’d suggest it as an ideal gift for the recipient who has almost everything.
Please note that this piece is available only in recycled raw brass, due to the weight required for its function.
Because this object is sand-cast in recycled solid metal and manufactured in small batches, slight variations will occur from one piece to another. Production marks may include slight pour ripples or surface pitting. The original finish will oxidise and darken over time to reveal a distinctive patina. If preferred, use a quality metal polish to restore

Henry Wilson was born in Sydney Australia. Graduated honors in Visual Arts (woodwork) at Australian National University, Canberra (2002-2005 BVA (Hons.)) and received the HSP Huygens scholarship at The Design Academy Eindhoven for Postgraduate studies (2008-2010) MA (Des.)
In 2010 he set up a studio for Design in Sydney, notable for the readapting of several disused shipping containers on a vacant industrial site. Though multidisciplinary; the studio is currently focussing on locally produced furniture and lighting. Many items are available as self-build components or fully resolved ‘in-house’ pieces. The collection continues to grow organically; committed to honestly resolved concepts with a focus on longevity.
Whether it be revisiting existing objects or producing new work, Henry is dedicated to experimenting on the process of design and production.
