I really need a great bookend idea. Just tell me like the gist of what you have in mind!

Im sorry, but what exactly are you after?

 

[Rikdyou]

a bookend its like something that can hold books its like well a bookcase but its small.
we have to make one for design and tech. Sorry i didnt put much detail cos i was in a hurry

Wait, so is it a pair of bookends (as in the L-shaped things that go at the end of a row of books) or a mini bookshelf?

two squares made of folded aluminium, both of different color. By folded aluminium I mean you take a fairly long plate of the metal (it can be something heavier than alu) which you would then fold into a square (or another shape) so that the ends of the plate are parallel but not touching (so yeah the object would be hollow) and then color it with something that shines like varnish paint (I would paint it in orange/green or red/blue , but its up to you). That is the Swiss school of design : simple, minimalist, effective. (oh and to make sure it can handle lots of books either glue a plastic base to prevent friction or chose a heavy material)
