‘Delft Paper Weight Box Set' is a set of 4 glass paperweights, lined by contemporary artist Magnus Gjoen. Each mini paperweight measures 5.6cm in diameter and the set of 4 comes in a presentation box measuring 18 x 18cm. From a limited edition of 200, these sets are unnumbered and unsigned.
 
Magnus Gjoen - former designer for Vivienne Westwood - knows a thing or two about style. Having recently turned his hand to the art of print making, Gjoen creates images that are full of startling beauty as well as a profundity of thought: his art explores the interaction between power and fragility, juxtaposing the two states for maximum conceptual effect.
 
‘Delft Paper Weight Box Set’ are a set of four, glass paperweights, lined with the image of a human skull. Gjoen has decorated each skull with a different Baroque, floral pattern, which seems to melt into the inky black background, highlighting the gossamer line between life and death. A beautifully tactile work of art, Gjoen’s paperweight set is the ultimate memento mori.
