The Fettu bookends are inspired by the organic, ribbon-like forms of fettuccine. Wide enough to have a nice bite and substantial enough to maintain its form, the Fettu is equal parts playful and grounding. Rhythmic in form, its sculptural tendencies disguise its function, allowing it to serve as bookends or an art object. Crafted from a single piece of stoneware, they fold upon themselves with an air of effortless poise. Their allure lies in their playful simplicity—captivating whether cradling books or standing alone.

Virginia Sin, the artist behind these creations, works from her studio in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Sin infuses each handmade piece with a sense of purpose and grace.

Sin is guided by a vision of creating "Things you can nest with. Things made slow. With two bare hands. Things worth sharing. Or hoarding. Things that help you find home, wherever you are." This ethos permeates every aspect of her work, from conception to execution.

Part of our Virginia Sin edit and Ceramics Edit collection.

Carter K. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the "fettuccine" shape looking gimmicky, but these actually anchor a shelf of heavy art books without budging. The ribbon curves catch the light nicely, so they read as sculpture when the row is half-empty. Solid, satisfyingly weighty.

Sebastian G. ★★★★★

The wide “bite” on these holds a full row of heavy hardcovers without budging, and the curved shape makes them look like part of the desk rather than a clamp. My shelf finally feels styled instead of just stuffed.

George ★★★★★

The ribbon-like curves catch the light in a way that makes them look almost fluid on my shelf, and they hold a full row of heavy hardcovers without budging. Honestly, the playful shape still feels substantial enough for serious use, which is exactly what I wanted.
