# Illuminating Bookmark Designs Manon Richard's Page Holders Shine a Blue Light for Use in The Dark By M | Published 2016-09-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmark-design References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/papillon9-glow-in-the-dark-bookmarks) & [etsy](https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Papillon9) Manon Richards is the designer behind the Papillon9 [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archflex-desk-lamp) shop that creates an array of glow-in-the-dark products including these illuminating bookmark designs. The page holders are [three dimensional](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emil-robbrecht) and shaped like animals, mystical creatures and other dainty objects made out of metal. The pieces are fitted with turquoise lights in certain areas that bring to life the details of the craftsmanship. Often times readers reach for their books in the evening, which makes a [glow-in-the-dark bookmark](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ddbrand-circuit-board) a great way to see a marked page in a dimly lit setting. The designs are made out of silver metal folded into the shapes of butterflies, mermaids, foxes and flowers. The bookmarks glow thanks to a phosphorescent element that readers can recharge under natural light. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Glow-in-the-dark Products:** Opportunity for creating innovative glow-in-the-dark products across various industries, such as fashion and home decor. - **Phosphorescent Technology:** Opportunity for developing and improving phosphorescent elements that can be used in a wide range of products. - **3D Metal Crafting:** Opportunity for utilizing 3D metal crafting techniques to create unique and intricate designs in various industries. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore incorporating glow-in-the-dark elements into clothing, accessories, and footwear. - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can create illuminating objects, such as lamps and wall art, using phosphorescent technology. - **Arts and Crafts:** Artists and crafters can utilize 3D metal crafting techniques to create intricate and eye-catching designs in their creations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Book-Shaped Transparent Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transparent-bookmark.md) - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md) - [Convenient Book Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/android-book-light.md) - [Cabin-Shaped Reading Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boof-reading-light.md) - [Mobile Illuminating Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/for-a-fleeting-moment.md) - [Healthy Illumination Reading Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neck-reading-light.md) - [Reading Book Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-x-moebe.md) - [Light-Equipped Reading Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dasung.md) - [Kinetic Insect Sculpture Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragonfly-balance-light.md)
