"This stunning Book Sculpture is meticulously crafted by hand in Italy. Each sculpture is a testament to the skill of the Italian artisans, showcasing their dedication to creating unique and captivating pieces of art.\nThis particular sculpture takes the form of a tree log, adding an enchanting touch to any space it inhabits. Standing at a smaller height of 19cm with a diameter of 21cm, it becomes an eye-catching centerpiece that commands attention and sparks curiosity.\nEvery Book Sculpture is one-of-a-kind, ensuring that you possess a truly unique piece of art. The sculpture is delicately placed on a wooden base, providing stability and grounding for the artwork. At the top of the sculpture, a brass ring allows for easy relocation without having to touch the delicate pages, preserving the integrity of the sculpture while granting you the freedom to adjust its placement as desired.\nDisplay this stunning sculpture in your living room, study, or any space where you seek to infuse a sense of wonder and artistic expression. Its presence sparks conversation and serves as a testament to your appreciation for fine craftsmanship and the beauty of literature.\nAbout the maker:\nThese vintage books are folded by hand in a Milan Atelier, to create a sophisticated design sculpture.\nThe Crizu design team crafts each book and each has its own character and patina and is beautifully transformed into a new concept. \nThe folds of the pages in this model create an effect that reminds us of oriental lanterns where grace and movement live together with precision and calm. For added museum-like impact, place under a glass dome or glass box for added impact.\nThe Story\nIn the beginning, you have the book. The volumes chosen by CRIZU have many pages, good quality paper, and the binding is stitched: beautiful in form but no longer up to date in contents. Only when a book loses its use, it is ready to be transformed into sculpture: maybe it will no longer be read, but surely admired.\nThe folding is done by hand, one page at a time. All done slowly and without interruption, repeating each gesture thousands of times, watching the paper transform under the fingers: touch is more important than sight. It is an art that requires patience and dedication, a sort of meditation where the rhythm of the gestures synchronize with the rhythm of the soul until the metamorphosis is complete.\nMaterial\nHand-folded vintage books; wood; brass ring.\nFeatures:\n\nThis item can be rolled and then posted with ease.\nEach piece is unique and sits on a wooden base with a brass ring at the top which allows you to relocate it as required, without touching the pages.\n\nDimensions:\nH 19cm x 21cm diamater"
