Signe Hytte Almond Book Weight: Brass
A book weight that leans into your touch and comes back to center. Shaped like an almond, it rests on the page to hold an art book, catalogue or recipe open, and when the book closes it stays on the home office desk or shelf as a small sculpture.
Signe Hytte designs with a Danish sensibility, clean and purposeful with a touch of play, and the Almond lands somewhere between art object and tool. The brass is satin-brushed and untreated, so it gathers a patina over time, a quiet record of the reading it has held open.
The Almond Book Weight is a small collection rather than a single object: the same balanced almond in a range of metals and stones, and in more than one size. Call it a book weight or a page holder, there is an Almond to suit the book and the shelf.

We are lifelong bibliophiles. Shelves filled with books line our studio walls and more are stacked on every surface. We admire their design, scrutinize their typography, fetishize their paper and analyze their binding. We read them for research, for inspiration, for the sheer pleasure of exploring new worlds of thought and experience.
We have curated a selection of books to offer our audience, based on our interests and yours. Most of our books are limited editions or out of print, they are seldom available in the US, and not available on Amazon.
All physical books are final sale: non-refundable and non-exchangeable. (Book & library accessories such as bookstands and book marks are covered by our normal return policy.)
Promotional discounts apply to over 500 items in our collection. As with all meaningful endeavors, there are boundaries - rare, limited edition, and sale items retain their original pricing.
