Colleen & Eric


This bookshelf called Hold On Tight by Colleen & Eric took my breath away. It comes with an integrated bookend (a cube with an oversized wing-nut that you can loosen and slide on a track to make room for more books). It’s minimal and brilliant. Make that cube white or red and I am in heaven.

  3. This was one of my two favorite pieces at BKLYN Designs this past weekend…especially with the turquoise cube. Beautifully simple.

  5. I’m sure if its just a wing nut you could probably just take it off along with the cube and paint them red or white ;)

  9. Thanks for the link to our post, Tina! the wing nuts/cubes actually come in custom shop-sprayed colors…so you can definitely have your red or white cube…:) And the wing nut is super fun to play with – it moves so smoothly…
