About the Item

Set of 2 book bombs by Hamilton Holmes. Oxalino collection 2020 Dimensions: 25.4 diameter cm Materials: White oak. Perfect spheres turned from single slabs of lumber are given tripod legs to hold up your books and hold down your hearts. These playful forms provide weight and stability for your bookshelf, and are offered in any of our decorative techniques to suit your interior. These bombs are hand painted with the OXALINO Decoration technique. Nicholas Hamilton Holmes is a sculptor and furniture maker living and working in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. All work is produced in studio. The main themes of Holmes’ work are traditional methods, and contemporary style. The combination of time tested techniques like handcut joinery or proportional design guarantee that all the work meets a standard of quality higher than most other producers. This studio prides itself on attention to detail, from the initial sketch to the finished piece--everything is artisan made and crafted. Sculpture has quickly become a focus of the studio, both in terms of art works, as well as furniture design. Bent, shaped and moulded wood make Holmes’ work both unique and valuable to collectors. Holmes believes in designing and building work that will last the test of time. The aesthetic that he applies references the foundation of the past, and pushes the contemporary vanguard of the future.
