These Bookends Are My Excuse for Buying All the Books
'Healthyish Loves It' is our weekly newsletter where we tell you about the stuff we can't live without. Pro tip: If you sign up for the newsletter, you'll get the scoop before everyone else.
My love of books has always been a point of pride—until I started renting a one-bedroom that’s, well, not exactly spacious. Throw in the fact that I live with a masters student who collects political theory texts with the zeal of a manic librarian, and my precious stacks of novels started to feel more like clutter than prized possessions. Enter: Tortuga’s Dumbo Bookend.
These stackable steel arches are designed by Ciszak Dalmas in collaboration with Tortuga, a modular furniture company with an eye for mobility. I was instantly drawn to the “Saraha” trio, because desert landscape tones speak to my heart and match the houseplants slowly taking over my living room. (Yes, I’m a millennial stereotype.) Best of all, the bookends can be turned to display a single prized item, like my copy of Where Cooking Begins. With a totally reasonable price point—and a tidal wave of spring releases on the horizon—completing my set just feels right. — Aliza Abarbanel, Healthyish assistant editor.
Buy it: Tortuga Dumbo Bookend, $28–$32.
