Overview
A family of three products designed to organize and display literature and print media within the home. Consisting of a letter organizer, magazine stand, and bookends, the collection explores how distinct objects can maintain their individual functions while sharing a cohesive visual identity. Drawing from the industrial home aesthetic, dark wood and metal are carried throughout the family to create a consistent material language that balances warmth with structure.
