This bookmark is inspired by the enduring geometry of the Great Mosque of Kairouan, one of the oldest and most influential monuments in North Africa. Founded in the 7th century and reconstructed in the 9th, the mosque is known for its powerful architectural presence and rhythmic, balanced design language.
Design
The pattern reflects the bold simplicity found in early North African ornamentation. Interlocking angular forms and measured symmetry evoke the grounded aesthetic of Kairouan’s stonework and carved surfaces, where geometry served both structure and expression.
Crafting & Finishing
Digitally modelled for precision and crafted with premium wood PLA, each piece is carefully shaped and hand-finished to emphasize crisp lines and subtle depth. Multiple protective coatings are applied to enhance contrast, preserve surface texture, and ensure durability with a smooth matte finish.
