Kai

Kai, in memory of my mother.

​

Kai is designed both as a bookmark and as a gentle reading aid, for children and adults alike. Its fine edge makes it easy to follow each line with your eyes or your fingertips, row by row.

​

I love books and collect them, but I have always found reading difficult, so my mother, a devoted reader, used to read aloud to me when I was a child. Now, as my eldest son is learning to read, all those memories return.

​

In Hawaiian, Kai means “sea”. It was there, with a book in my hand, that the idea for a small, elegant and meaningful object was born.
