The XOO Bookends by Vessel Architectural Pottery

Vessel USA Inc. has recently introduced Malcolm Leland’s X00 (zoo) industrial design bookends.
This new design was inspired by Los Angeles’ famous historical American Cement Building on Wilshire Blvd. In 1961 Malcolm was commissioned by the architect produce a sculptural façade made of reinforced concrete which had never been done before at that time. The 10 foot Xs’ were then cast one at a time and place in position creating a sculptural structure for the upper 13 story lofts and the lower half which is the parking garage. His sculptural design has been a part Los Angeles’ skyline since 1964.

This new addition to the Vessel collection is made of a proprietary media and made to look exactly like the originals on the building.

X00 bookends weigh a substantial 9.5lbs for (model 00) and 4.75lbs for model (X). Because of its modular design, they can be rotated vertically or horizontally to be used for large and or small books.

Dimensions:

Single OO Bookend: 11.75" x 10.50"

Single X Bookend: 11.75" x 5.25"
