Magnet with "Black Architect" design: Museum Object and Cultural History

The object in the museum catalogue

A black-and-white magnetic strip reading "Black Architect." The magnet is rectangular, with a wide rectangle on the left side with word "BLACK" repeating in white letters on a black background, and a thinner, off-set white rectangle on the right side with the word "ARCHITECT" appearing vertically in bold black letters. The "A" of "architect" is placed just above the start of the rectangle on the left, and the last "T" aligns with the third to bottom "Black." There is a red, lowercase "i" between the two words where they meet. The back of the magnet is black.
