Where Bookworm Meets Design Lover

Haven’t you always wanted a dandelion bookmark?

 I spent last week in Calgary, popping into both nights of the inaugural Monogram Dinner by Design event that was such a roaring success. (So great to see so many design types—over 400 of you!—out celebrating together.)I can’t visit the city without stopping into one of my favourite stores, Kit, where they’ve stocked up on dozens of gorgeous gift ideas for the summer—from great new pieces from Danish design firm Hay (stay tuned for those), to this perfect little present for the book lovers on your list. Tom Dixon’s Tool the Bookmark Dandelion is made of etched brass, and manufactured with microscopic detail—right down to the “wish” seed heads. Perfect for summer, when hours by the pool are made for those stacks of books you’ve had piling up by your bedside.Tool the Bookmark Dandelion by Tom Dixon, $20, available at Kit, kitinteriorobjects.com
