The Bookmark Collection

(english)

“Design that gives stories a place
to live and a place to land.”

A curated series of unique, handcrafted tables made from cross-cut books. The Bookmark Collection grew out of a love for books, memories, and the magic of things that last. Books carry entire lives within them. Traces of use, notes in the margins, folds, age. The collection explores the boundary between furniture, sculpture, and memory object.

The tables come in four categories:
1. The Mémoire Tables > custom-made from own (often precious) books.
2. Special Editions > tables made from rare or iconic (design)books, like old phone directories or Penguin classics.
3. Passion Tables > organised by subject, such as travel books, school books, cooking, children’s books, books on gardening, dictionaries etc.
4. Chromatic Series > tables built around colour.

The possibility of creating something functional and meaningful from the books of a loved one, even someone who has passed away, is something I find deeply beautiful and valuable. Every (‘Mémoire’) Table tells a unique story. A story about someone we miss, someone we cherish, someone we want to remember, honour, or hold close.

In addition to the custom-made tables, every six months, a small limited batch becomes available.
The collections will be first unveiled in the newsletter! Subscribion is possible below.

Most tabletops are reversible: two moods, one piece.
Their metal bases are subtle, colourful, sturdy, and timeless.
