This one is a new bookmark, but it was on my mind and thus jumped up the queue. Japanese architect Yumiko Ishihara made this striking display as part of the recent Yokohama Triennale. Made from 3,000 chopsticks and bamboo rods, this piece is lovely for its simplicity, but also its ability to be both a shelf and a guide. It keeps sight lines open, leading visitors through the space and carving out nice coves like the video viewing area shown above.
