Tokyo-based Naruse Inokuma Architects has created a unique set of bookmarks made out of demolished homes. The IE-tag is designed to look like little homes; they can even be arranged to form a little village.
The IE-tag is a great way to reuse the material of demolished homes that would have otherwise wound up in a landfill. Needless to say, I'll be searching for these next time I go to the bookstore.
