These 1980s Modernist bookends feature a bold and sculptural design that combines clear Lucite and polished brass. Each bookend showcases a horn-shaped brass element, sleek and tapered, rising from a thick, clear Lucite base. The brass horns have a smooth, glossy finish that reflects light, lending them a luxurious look with a slightly retro flair typical of 1980s decor. The Lucite bases are thick and transparent, providing a minimalist and almost invisible foundation that emphasizes the floating appearance of the brass horns. This use of Lucite is emblematic of 1980s design, where clear and glossy materials were popular for creating a sense of openness and modernity. The contrast between the warm metallic brass and the cool, clear Lucite gives these bookends a striking visual balance, making them both functional and decorative. These bookends would be ideal for adding a touch of sophistication and a bit of a statement piece to any bookshelf or desk, fitting well in eclectic, contemporary, or even vintage-inspired interiors. The combination of brass and Lucite embodies the chic and daring aesthetic of the Modernist 1980s style. They are in lovely original vintage condition.
