This unique piece of furniture, called Bookmarker , is by Japanese design firm StudioYO . Made from a minimum of materials, it's meant to be both a functional piece and a love letter to books.

This is a "bookmark." It may sound like an exaggeration, but this piece of furniture functions as a bookmark for those who love to read or wish to enjoy reading more. By making the act of reading visually tangible, it provides a dedicated space for a novel you are about to start, a book you want to finish, or an art book you wish to keep within reach at all times.

Bookmarker is crafted from three parts, cut efficiently from a single piece of vertically laminated Japanese cypress wood, allowing for flat packing.
