Flighty 3D-Printed Page Keepers

The Pero Bookmark by Studio Macura is Modelled After Birds

— February 27, 2014 — Art & Design
People who still purchase physical books don't reject the advances of technology on the whole and they can express this by indulging in a Pero Bookmark. It is a 3D printed page keeper that shows how whimsical tech-made products can be. Continuing the design firm's love of birds, which began with the LETI Pendant Lamp, the Pero Bookmark also takes the form of such feathery friends.

Created by Studio Macura, a practice founded by Ingeborg and Marko and based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, the Pero Bookmark is available in three styles and four colors including black, red, blue and white. Whether sitting upright, pecking downwards or stretching out its wings, the Pero Bookmark will bring to mind a flight of the imagination.
