Our choice designer bookends have been selected for both their functionality and their iconic good looks. [OPEN]One of the tiny details that can really make a room, a fresh and funky bookend can both organise and brighten up an otherwise stern-looking phalanx of cookbooks, novels or DVDs.

With us since the invention of the library, bookends started out as heavy weights buttressing a collection of dust-covered tomes. Then, in 1876, Sir William Stebbins Barnard realised that you could use the weight of the books themselves as an anchor.

Since 2004, the award-winning Brit, Susan Bradley, has marketed from her studio original and distinctive bookends using Barnard’s light, stackable, easy to stash away template - but adding her own glorious yet simple decoration, often based on instantly recognisable icons of British life like the Routemaster bus. These iconic novelty bookends look great with any style of décor and make wonderful (and affordable) gifts.

Design55 are proud to bring you a selection of these and other quality bookends.[CLOSE]
