Description

Sculptural forms, playfulness, and craftsmanship come together in the design of the Sumitani Saburo Shoten Cow Paper Weight. Designer Tadahiro Baba often uses animal-inspired motifs in his work, as well as traditional cast iron techniques, and this product is no exception. Shaped like the head of a cow, this paper weight adds a fun accent to a desk or table. It features distinctive horns and a concave side to offer the perfect grip. Handmade in Japan with age-old metal casting methods, this cast iron paper weight is not only extremely durable and hard-wearing, but also gorgeously textured. A high-quality, Japanese black lacquer coating protects the surface of the material and prevents rusting. More importantly, the hefty weight ensures that you can easily keep papers and other flat, lightweight items in place on a desk, even in drafty areas.
