Fin Bookends by Henry Wilson are crafted in sand-cast gunmetal bronze. Their weight and mass can support the most substantial of editions.
The casting process uses fins to strengthen form and brace corners; each imprints the front and back of the casting, refining the amount of metal required. The gentle taper to the face and base hints at how each piece is made.
The original finish will oxidise and darken over time to reveal a distinctive patina. If this displeases, simply use a metal polish to restore brightness. Crafted, finished and polished in Sydney, Australia.

Designer Profile
Henry Wilson is an Australian designer who creates furniture, lighting, accessories and components in metal, stone and glass; he has also designed interiors for two Aesop stores in Sydney. He has lived and worked in Sydney for more than 30 years; it is the place to which he habitually retreats, and where he feels most unfettered creatively.
Henry’s work is characterised in part by utilitarianism, with a clear form and function. But it is also important to him that it embodies feeling – he is interested in the imperfect beauty that comes from objects made by hand, and in the creation of pieces that retain a sense of individual charm while not compromising the robust framework required for manufacture.
Materials often speak for themselves, to evoke an intuitive response connected to their physical properties and design heritage. The anthropology of design has a linear narrative – contemporary designs and production methods stem from those that have come before – the act of design is a fluid exchange between inspirations, materials and production.
Simon James is proud to be the exclusive stockist of Henry Wilson in Aotearoa.
