# Minimalist Granite Bookends These Triangular Shaped Bookends Can Hold Up the Heaviest of Books By Christopher Magsambol | Published 2015-08-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangleshaped-bookends References: [betterlivingthroughdesign](http://www.betterlivingthroughdesign.com/accessories/bookends-by-danielemma/) & [daniel-emma](http://www.daniel-emma.com/Field-Desk-Set) DANIEL/EMMA designed a piece that emphasizes minimalism and simplicity with its [triangle-shaped bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-bookend). Bookends can be used for a variety of reasons -- to add a pop of color, to showcase interesting design or can act as unique conversation piece. DANIEL/EMMA's newest design does all of this. Made from a [single block of granite](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qub-candlestick), the bookends are available in a dark black finish or classic black and gray. Despite its small frame, even the heaviest and longest series of books will be protected. Because of its granite-base, each bookend is deceptively heavy. Its simple color options only make the bookends stand out even more, often contrasted against a multi-colored array of books. The bookends are extremely sleek in design, and the clean lines make for a [unique and contemporary accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tong-side-table) that will elevate any bookcase. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Minimalist Bookends:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop bookends that combine minimalist design with sustainable materials. - **Triangle-shaped Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create customizable bookends with unique geometric shapes. - **Granite Bookends:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Introduce smart bookends with built-in features like wireless charging or smart assistants. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Innovate sustainable and eco-friendly materials for home decor products. - **Furniture:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop modular bookend systems that can be easily adjusted and customized. - **Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Combine technology and design to create smart bookends with integrated features. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimally Engineered Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firm-book-end.md) - [Minimalist Greenery Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-propagation-bookend.md) - [Parisian Building-Inspired Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-bookend.md) - [Reading Book Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-x-moebe.md) - [Minimal Sleek Aluminum Bookstands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrial-bookstand.md) - [Abstract Triangular Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-side-table.md) - [Modular Wireless Speaker Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beat-bookend.md) - [Minimalist Bookish Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-bookshelf.md) - [Whimsical Theater-Themed Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-bookend.md)
