# Gilded Numeric Bookmarks These Graphically Illustrated Bookmars are a Project for FIAC 2015 By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-10-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiac-2015 References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2015/10/29/new-graphic-bookmarks-by-akatre-arjowiggins/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [akatre](http://www.akatre.com/design/article/arjowiggins-x-fiac) In honor of FIAC 2015 -- the Exhibition of International Contemporary Art held annually in Paris -- the design studios of Arjowiggins and Akatre collaborated to create this collection of [beautifully designed bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrial-bookstand). The bookmarks feature [intricate, abstract patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-decors) of embossed, gilded numbers. The numbers don't appear to be in any particularly logical pattern, but rather are used as pure adornment. The textures and metallic shades of the numbers vary throughout the bookmark collection. Each bookmark is printed on [intensely colored, sturdy paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-and-issey-miyake). FIAC 2015 features a range of products, great and small, by contemporary international artists. It's a fascinating look at the best and the worst of modern art and allows a glimpse into what the future of popular aesthetics will look like. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Embroidered Bookmarks:** Creating bookmarks using embroidery for an artistic and visually appealing option. - **3D Printed Bookmarks:** Use of 3D printing technology to create unique and intricate bookmarks. - **Smart Bookmarks:** Bookmarks with interactive elements such as QR codes or RFID technology for added convenience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Printing Industry:** Offering new and unique printing techniques to create visually stunning and artistic bookmarks. - **Technology Industry:** Incorporating technology into bookmark design for added convenience and functionality. - **Art and Design Industry:** Creating visually appealing and aesthetically pleasing bookmarks as a customizable and affordable art product. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Personality-Forward Bookmark Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humdrum-paper.md) - [Book-Shaped Transparent Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transparent-bookmark.md) - [Collaborative Art Museum Stationary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papier-x-the-met.md) - [Parisian Building-Inspired Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-bookend.md) - [Typographic-Inspired Intricate Textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glyph-collection.md) - [Bright Celebratory Olympic Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-2024-1.md) - [Versatile Book Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-x-moebe-book-stand.md) - [Customizable Book Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lagom-collection1.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-are-you-looking-at.md)
