Stainless steel, brass sphere, packed between two magnetic strips.
A very thin strip of stainless steel is enhanced by a small brass sphere, giving the object a certain importance.
The package consists of two magnetic bands which, along with bookmark itself, contained a folded sheet of paper in which Ferreri described his project: ?A bookmark. I mark the pages of my books with paper: an old bus ticket, a piece of newspaper, or by folding down a corner of the page.
But paper crumples up, slides down into the pages, or gets lost. This small strip of stainless steel has a brass sphere which keeps it from getting lost in the pages.
I can also use it as a letter opener, or I can hold it in my hand and its gentle movement keeps me company while I read. It is washable.
Size: L 18.5 cm, W 2 cm.
