Brass Paperweight Set

Oji Masanori for Futagami

• Introduction

  I am a set of brass paperweights. We pin down papers like an acclaimed three-time heavyweight champion. We're small guys but pack a punch.  Those other guys have no fighting chance with us! 

   

• Curator's Notes

   

  These paperweights are a great addition for any desk. They can pin down papers, business cards or receipts. We love the subtle textural difference as two sides of each polyhedron have smooth brushed finishes while the others feature crude casting surfaces. Their weight feels substantial and appropriate for daily use while the slow oxidization of the brass keeps its coloration and texture looking richer over many years of usage.
