Stop Marble Bookend

$237

Made by e15

Designed by Philipp Mainzer

Philipp Mainzer's Stop Marble Bookend distills function to its geometric core. The cubic form carries no ornamentation, no excess - only the weight and presence of the stone itself.

Available in white Carrara or black Marquina marble, each piece is carved from Italian stone and finished with a hone that forgoes sealant entirely. The surface remains open to the material's natural grain, its veining, its quiet variation. The marble does the work.

  • Carved from white Carrara or black Marquina marble
  • Honed finish with no sealant, preserving the stone's natural character
  • Cubic silhouette designed by Philipp Mainzer for e15
  • Suitable for desk, shelf, or table use

Mainzer founded e15 in 1995 with a commitment to material precision and formal restraint. The Stop Bookend is characteristic of that sensibility - an object that earns its place through proportion and craft, not gesture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What marble varieties is the Stop Bookend available in?

The Stop Bookend is offered in two marble options: white Carrara, quarried in the Apuan Alps of Tuscany, and black Marquina, a distinctive stone from the Basque region of Spain. Each carries its own veining pattern, meaning no two pieces are identical.

Why does the Stop Bookend have no sealant on the marble?

The honed finish is left unsealed intentionally, allowing the marble's natural porosity and surface character to remain unaltered. Over time, the stone may develop a subtle patina from handling, which Philipp Mainzer and e15 consider part of the object's life rather than a flaw.

Who is Philipp Mainzer and what is e15?

Philipp Mainzer is a German architect and designer who co-founded e15 in 1995. The Frankfurt-based brand is known for its rigorous approach to materials and reduction of form, producing furniture and objects that emphasize craft and structural honesty.

How heavy is the Stop Marble Bookend?

Because the Stop Bookend is carved from solid marble, it carries the natural density of the stone, giving it the functional weight needed to support books or objects on a shelf. Exact dimensions and weight can be confirmed in the product specifications.

Can the Stop Bookend be used outdoors or in humid environments?

Marble is a natural stone sensitive to prolonged moisture and acidic substances. The unsealed honed surface of the Stop Bookend makes it best suited to indoor environments, away from direct exposure to water or harsh conditions.
