Disconnected Dog Bookends

Spisani Releases a Line of Canine Shelf Accessories to Keep Novels Neat

— February 28, 2012 — Lifestyle
As much as animal lovers hate seeing creatures come to harm, they have to admit that these Spisani bookends are pretty rad. Coming in a variety of canine shapes, the bookends feature pooches that have been severed in half in order to keep your novels in place. This creates the illusion that the torso of the dog extends for the width of your book collection.

If you can’t get past the idea of a dog being cut in half, fret not as Spisani offers full-bodied dog bookends as well. The shelf accessories are made from clear materials which depict silhouettes of a myriad of canine breeds.

If dogs aren’t your thing, Spisani also has variations of these bookend designs featuring all sorts of animals.
Trend Themes
1. Animal-inspired Bookends - Spisani's canine shelf accessories create a unique and playful way to keep books organized, presenting a trend towards more novelty and decorative bookend designs.
2. Clear Materials in Home Decor - Spisani's use of clear materials in their bookend designs create a trend towards see-through furniture and decor pieces that can blend into any home design aesthetic.
3. Severed Design Elements - Although potentially controversial, Spisani's use of animal shapes that have been 'severed' in half presents a trend towards using shock value design elements in functional products.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - Spisani's animal-shaped bookends offer a unique and playful alternative to traditional bookends, disrupting the home decor industry by introducing novelty pieces.
2. Novelty Gifts - Spisani's variety of animal-inspired bookend designs provide an opportunity for the creation of unique and quirky gift options, disrupting the traditional gift industry.
3. Interior Design - Spisani's use of clear materials in their bookend designs creates an opportunity to disrupt the interior design industry by introducing see-through furniture and decor as a new design style.
