Key takeaways

  • The page lists a bookmark of 5 × 18 cm, named for the Bibliotheque nationale de France (BnF) archive the design comes from.
  • The design is credited on the page to Edouard Benedictus; it shows curved bands, which is why the listing is named Courbes (curves).
  • Woodhi says it worked with the BnF to print little-seen archive designs on its wooden goods; the page does not describe the licence terms.
  • Woodhi's Features page says its wood is FSC-certified maple; the bookmark page itself does not restate the species or give a thickness.
  • It cost €4.90 (about US$5.50) on November 5, 2026, in our $$ band ($5 to $20); a notable price for a bookmark.

What is the Woodhi BnF Courbes bookmark?

It is a wooden bookmark printed with a curved, layered design from the archive of France’s national library. Woodhi’s page reads that the Bibliotheque nationale de France “is filled with treasures of all kinds: books, illustrations, paintings, texts, patterns”, and that the maker collaborated with it to print “some nuggets rarely seen before” on its goods, adding that it is “very proud of it”. The design is credited to Edouard Benedictus; “Courbes” is French for curves. We read the page on November 5, 2026.

How big is it?

It is 5 × 18 cm, tall and narrow. That is half the width of Woodhi’s 10 × 15 cm postcards and 3 cm longer, enough to stick out of the top of most paperbacks. The page gives no thickness or weight.

What does Woodhi say about its wood?

Its Features page says the maple is “abundant” and that every card is different, like the trees. The About page says the maple is FSC certified and that a 20-year-old tree makes 90,000 cards; the bookmark page does not repeat these. It also says the sheet is flexible and “doesn’t break” when bent, a claim written about its cards. We cannot tell whether a bookmark of the same wood behaves the same.

Are there other designs?

Yes: Woodhi’s shop lists many bookmarks at the same size and price. They include other BnF archive designs and bookmarks by contemporary artists, such as Sunset by Fanny Crochard, also 5 × 18 cm at €4.90 (about US$5.50). We chose Courbes because the page states the archive link and the designer.
