Brain Food Bookmark is an innovative and conceptual stationery design that reimagines the traditional bookmark through a humorous and philosophical lens, interpreting reading as literal food for the brain. This design, created by Greek designer Natasha Chatziangeli, consists of a set of transparent plexiglass bookmarks shaped like cutlery—spoon, fork, and knife—each measuring 190mm x 37mm x 3mm. The bookmarks feature semi-transparent printed themes celebrating Greek culture, including food motifs, summer scenes, and architectural elements, while maintaining visibility of the book's text through their transparent material. The design cleverly associates different reading genres with specific utensils: the spoon for romance and love stories, the fork for philosophy and poetry, and the knife for science fiction and comedy. This thoughtful approach to bookmark design, which won an Iron A' Design Award in the Giftware Design category, represents a sophisticated reimagining of the traditional Greek souvenir, combining cultural heritage with practical functionality. The bookmarks are produced using laser-cutting technology and feature carefully balanced transparency that allows readers to see through to the text while maintaining the distinctive themed artwork. The design successfully transforms the philosophical concept of food for thought into a tangible, playful object that serves both practical and aesthetic purposes, demonstrating an innovative approach to everyday stationery design.
