The normal bookmark is a plain, simple bookmark of high-quality paper made from trees from renewable forests. The corners of the bookmark are rounded with a radius of approximately 3 mm to make them less susceptible to knocks and to feel comfortable in the hand.
When you insert a normal bookmark into a book, it begins to do its job quietly, with few distractions. Its natural color blends humbly into a book; the slightly textured surface keeps it from falling out. Because the length of a normal bookmark is cut along the grain of the paper, when slotted, parallel, into a book, it curves subtly with the flipping of pages.
Renowned Japanese designer Kenya Hara once said, “Emptiness is itself the possibility of it being filled”. You can fill the emptiness of a normal bookmark with writing and drawing, or leave it empty and humble for your contemplation.
