Serra Bookends
Pre-order to reserve yours now, this small batch item ships in late October.
The Serra bookends' form is inspired by the way pages of an old book rest on a dusty shelf, bending and leaning comfortably. Influenced by Richard Serra's monumental steel works, their understated design endlessly captivates. Constructed from a singular slab of stoneware, they fold onto themselves in an effortlessly graceful manner. Their simplicity is what makes them striking, with or without books to support. Handcrafted in Brooklyn by Virginia Sin.
Sin's mission is to make "Things you can nest with. Things made slow. With two bare hands. Things worth sharing. Or hoarding. Depending on your prerogative. Things that help you find home, wherever you are." As a Women and AAPI-owned business, each item is handmade in her studio at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

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.
The fact that we have now launched our own imprint seems an inevitable extension. Wms&Co. books are created in collaboration with the interesting characters, visionaries and designers we encounter. Subject matter varies wildly but is always infused with the spirit of creativity and a respect for good design.
