Kikkerland + Barnes and Noble design challenge

fall 2023 - 10 weeks

prompted to design a product for book lovers, the goal was to create a marketable product to be sold by Kikkerland and Barnes and Noble through direct interaction and advice from the companies. guided to present sketches along with a final prototype.

the final presented idea is a flower press bookmark. the flower press bookmark offers a customizable way to preserve cherished memories. instead of pressing flowers directly into a book, risking damage, this bookmark provides a safe space to store flowers securely and dry them effectively. its simple design includes two flat transparent pieces and two end caps, making it easy to use.

Whether it's flowers you wish to preserve or a note from a friend, this bookmark allows you to store these keepsakes, offering a sweet reminder whenever you read. Once preserved, you can remove the flowers and redecorate the bookmark as often as you like, allowing you to continue cherishing and reusing your special memories.
