Marble book holder - Calacatta Viola (Pre-Order)

This item is currently available for pre-order. Orders will be dispatched between 1 to 15 August 2026.

Carved from honed Calacatta Viola marble, Ketab is a book stand as much at home on a coffee table as it is in use. Quarried in Turkey, Calacatta Viola is distinguished by its white ground and deep rose-grey veining  - the result of millions of years of mineral movement through stone. No two slabs have ever told the same story.

The form is deliberately simple. Two interlocking slabs, cut and fitted to hold books, magazines, or objects at a considered angle. No adhesive. No hardware. Just stone, weight, and geometry.

Honed finish. Natural variation in veining and tone is intrinsic to the material.
