Full details
The Gejst Arkis Bookend Trio is designed for design enthusiasts and bibliophiles who appreciate architectural history and geometric precision in their home decor. Inspired by the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, this set provides a stable and sophisticated anchor for bookshelves while acting as a sculptural centerpiece. While the trio offers a premium neoclassical aesthetic, users should note that the weighted design requires shelf surfaces that can support a solid, substantial object without scratching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Arkis set is straightforward; simply place them at the ends of your book collection or use the middle piece as a divider for organized sections. They are compatible with most standard wooden, metal, or laminate bookshelves. To care for your bookends, wipe them down periodically with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads, as these can mar the black finish. It is recommended to use felt pads on the base if you are concerned about scratching particularly delicate furniture surfaces.
