Designer Jiwoong Jung's 'Tm Holder' is a paperweight that separates itself from others via its material. Rather than solid wood, stone, or metal, the Tm Holder is made out of colorful gelatinous silicone. The playful desktop object can thus hold business cards in thin, nearly invisible slits while also keeping one's papers secure.
The Tm Holders come in two different shapes: cubic and cylindrical. Both styles come in several different colors as well, including light blue, pale orange, yellow, sea foam green, pink, and dark grey. The creative paperweights have three grooves for business cards hidden within them — one long slice down the middle and two smaller slices towards the ends (or near the corners on the cubical Tm Holders.)
