If I could say one thing to books it would be, “You’ve got the genes. Use them.” This of course referring to their posture, with spines so straight it’s hard to believe they’re always toppling over. Not anymore. Restore your books from ladette to lady with these Jonathan Adler stoneware animal bookends.

All of Jonathan Adler’s pottery is designed and sculpted in their Soho studio, and produced in their Peruvian workshop founded through Aid to Artisans, a non-profit organisation which promotes fair trade between designers in America and artisans in developing countries.

Your books will be standing tall in no time.

Available through the Jonathan Adler online store or across Australia at Outre.
