ARKIS
by Kasper Friis Egelund
Arkis is three marble objects designed to either function as a
bookend or just sculptural pieces for the home. Inspired from the
many arches of Classicism and Neoclassicism the design is especially
in昀氀uenced by the beautiful Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana in Rome. To
create further depth in the design, the golden ratio has been used,
which ap-plies to the gradual down scaling of the three objects. This
scaling creates interesting vistas through the objects when placed
together. The design is thought to be either three individual pieces
or one joined object.
