Ode to Brutalism
Book Towers
Crina Arghirescu x Liz Hopkins
Part furniture, part sculpture, the Ode to Brutalism book towers derive their shape from brutalist architecture, reminiscent of Crina Arghirescu Rogard’s childhood in Bucharest.
With cut-out niches and a carved-out tabletop surface, it is ideal for holding small objects and pocketbooks together. Designed by Crina Arghirescu Rogard in collaboration with the artist Liz Hopkins, the towers are composed of wood, plaster, and resin.
