Re-End
Project Type
Glass

March, 2024
Re-End is a glass book stand that uses used books and wooden boards as negative molds.
Both books and glass date back to before Christ, and although their forms and techniques have changed over the last 4,000 years, they are objects that continue to enrich our lives today. Re-End is a product created by combining these two traditional items, offering a new way to finish the used book with glassblowing. Re End can make you feel that old materials and knowledge support today's new materials and knowledge. It also has the convenience of being able to easily change the shape of the module by changing the position of the old book.
In addition, with the development of digital technology, the book medium has changed from paper to digital books. Therefore, in today's society, analog paper books are not only a reading material but also play an important role as an interior decoration for a room. Re-End can make analog books stand out even more as interior decoration due to its impressive shape and background.
Additionally, this manufacturing method can be used to create a variety of shapes by changing the placement and number of books used to serve as the mold. This is not the traditional manufacturing method of making a mold from scratch, but a new manufacturing method that takes into account the environmental impact of reusing used books, is flexible and easy to implement, and has an attractive story .
