Tape Dispenser https://shop.gessato.com/m-r-tape-dispenser/ https://shop.gessato.com/m-r-tape-dispenser/#respond Sun, 04 Oct 2026 14:14:49 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=179952 The best tools often seem obvious once someone has designed them properly. CW&T’s M.R. Tape Dispenser strips the familiar desktop object down to a single bent piece of stainless steel, using the shape of the metal itself to hold one or several rolls of tape under tension.

There is no spindle and no complicated mechanism. Tape feeds through an opening in the steel frame and adheres to a mirror-polished surface at the front, where it stays ready for the next use. The multi-radius form accommodates rolls of different diameters, while a rubber pad underneath gives the dispenser a gentle grip on a desk or work surface.

M.R. can also be mounted directly to a wall using the supplied hardware. This configuration turns an ordinary roll of tape into something closer to a permanently accessible workshop tool and allows for easy one-handed dispensing.

The dispenser works particularly well with paper-based tapes such as masking tape and washi tape. It is a characteristic CW&T object: materially direct, mechanically uncomplicated, and carefully considered down to the surface that the tape touches.

Jack Paperweights https://shop.gessato.com/jack-paperweights/ https://shop.gessato.com/jack-paperweights/#respond Tue, 29 Sep 2026 14:35:56 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=179856 The Tom Dixon Jack paperweight set pairs rounded, branching forms with the weight of marble and onyx. British designer Tom Dixon adapted the shape from his Jack light, creating a smaller, solid-stone object that holds loose papers in place and works as a sculpture on a desk or shelf.

Each piece is hand-carved in Agra, India, and polished to bring out the stone’s veining. This four-piece set includes one paperweight in Forest Green marble, one in golden-brown Forest Brown marble, one in deep red Flamingo marble, and one in Pink Indian onyx. The contrasting stones make it easy to distinguish the pieces, whether arranged together or used in different parts of a room.

Place a Jack on loose notes or an open book, display the four side by side, or stack them in different combinations. Natural variations in color and veining mean each set will differ from the photographs. A useful gift for a design enthusiast, particularly one who still prefers putting pen to paper.

Discus Wooden Bird Figurine https://shop.gessato.com/discus-wooden-bird-figurine/ https://shop.gessato.com/discus-wooden-bird-figurine/#respond Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:35:33 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=179697 A hooked beak and a bold, ringed eye give Discus its distinctive profile. Danish architect Hans Bølling designed this hand-painted wooden bird figurine in 1961, taking the rounded body’s shape from the discus of ancient Greece. Produced by Danish design company Architectmade, each bird is made from pine, with a dark painted back and an unpainted chest that leaves the grain visible.

A band of color follows the curve of the face and belly: blue for Small and Medium, red or gray for the two Large versions. The outlines change with the sizes. Large Gray has a longer beak and broader body, while Large Red stands slightly taller. Small measures just over four inches high, making it an easy addition beside books or a desk lamp.

Place one on a shelf or bring several together along a console, turning the figures toward one another to arrange the group. Each bird is sold individually—a good starting point for a collector of Danish wooden figures, or a housewarming gift for someone with a fondness for birds.

Cast Iron Decor – Horned Owl https://shop.gessato.com/cast-iron-decor-horned-owl/ https://shop.gessato.com/cast-iron-decor-horned-owl/#respond Mon, 27 Jul 2026 20:20:55 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=176686 Named Mimizuku, the Japanese term for a horned owl, this compact cast iron sculpture was designed by Nobuho Miya for Kamasada. Two rounded eyes sit within broad recessed planes, while the pointed upper edge suggests the owl’s ear tufts. The body is reduced to a gently tapering volume, allowing the grain of the iron and the casting process to remain visible.

Each piece is handmade in Morioka, Iwate, using Nambu ironware techniques and namagata, or green-sand casting. The ornament is finished with black urushi lacquer, which may vary slightly across the surface and reveal a silver-brown tone in certain areas.

The owl stands without a separate base and measures approximately 3 inches high. Place it on a desk, shelf, or bookcase as a compact sculpture, or use its 1.76-pound weight as a paperweight. Small differences in form, surface texture, and finish are expected from the handmade production process.

Metal Writing Set https://shop.gessato.com/metal-writing-set/ https://shop.gessato.com/metal-writing-set/#respond Thu, 09 Apr 2026 11:08:15 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=170530 The HMM Metal Writing Set brings together two desk tools in one gift pack: an aluminum ballpoint pen and a matching paperweight that also works as a pen holder. It is a compact, useful set for a desk, studio, home office, reception area, or anyone who still prefers a proper pen within reach.

The ballpoint pen is made from aluminum alloy and weighs 22 g, light enough for longer writing sessions without feeling flimsy. A heavy-duty spring gives the click mechanism a firm, deliberate action. The pen uses a Schmidt P900M refill; HMM’s individual Ballpoint page identifies the refill as 0.7 mm black ink and notes Parker-style refill compatibility.

The second piece is a 101 g aluminum paperweight with HMM’s 12-facet geometry. The hollow center turns it into a pen holder, keeping the ballpoint upright and easy to grab while also giving loose notes or small papers a place to stay put. It is a small object, but it does useful work on a desk.

Choose Black for a darker, more graphic set, or Raw Aluminum / Silver for a lighter finish that shows more of the metal character. The set arrives in a gift package with a paper inner structure designed for the pen and holder.

Abstract Glass Ball Blue https://shop.gessato.com/abstract-glass-ball-blue/ https://shop.gessato.com/abstract-glass-ball-blue/#respond Sun, 11 Jan 2026 21:38:42 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=161544 The Abstract Glass Ball by Amabro is a small hand-formed glass object with color worked directly into the mass of the sphere. In this blue version, layers of deep and pale tones move through the glass in loose, irregular patterns, giving each piece its own internal composition.

The surface is smooth and weighty in the hand, while the flattened base allows the ball to sit securely on a shelf, table, or desk. It works as a standalone object or as part of a small grouping, catching light differently as you move around it. Because each ball is made by hand, variations in color, pattern, and flow are part of the piece rather than an imperfection.

Abstract Glass Ball Multi https://shop.gessato.com/abstract-glass-ball-multi/ https://shop.gessato.com/abstract-glass-ball-multi/#respond Sun, 11 Jan 2026 20:53:15 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=161531 The Abstract Glass Ball by Amabro is a hand-formed glass object where multiple colors are worked directly into the sphere during production. In this multicolor version, saturated tones intersect and overlap inside the glass, creating a composition that feels almost geological—dense in some areas, lighter and more transparent in others.

Each ball is shaped by hand and finished with a subtly flattened base so it can rest naturally on shelves, tables, or window sills. The surface remains smooth and tactile, while the color distribution varies from piece to piece, making every example slightly different. It works well on its own, but also pairs easily with other objects where color and material do the talking rather than form.

Snoopy x Skultuna – Snoopy on the Roof https://shop.gessato.com/snoopy-x-skultuna-snoopy-on-the-roof/ https://shop.gessato.com/snoopy-x-skultuna-snoopy-on-the-roof/#respond Wed, 17 Dec 2025 21:30:40 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=160768 Snoopy on the Roof is part of Skultuna’s Peanuts collaboration, produced as a small sculptural object in gold-plated stainless steel. The piece depicts Snoopy resting on his doghouse, rendered as a single solid form with simplified details and a polished surface.

The doghouse gives the object more presence than the standalone figure, making it work well as a focal point on a shelf, sideboard, or desk. The surfaces are smooth and reflective, with clearly defined edges that keep the form readable from different angles.

As with the rest of the series, this edition is designed as a decorative object rather than a figurine in the traditional sense. It’s recognizable without leaning on illustration or narrative, and it pairs naturally with the other Snoopy pieces in the collection.

Snoopy x Skultuna – Snoopy & Woodstock https://shop.gessato.com/snoopy-x-skultuna-snoopy-woodstock/ https://shop.gessato.com/snoopy-x-skultuna-snoopy-woodstock/#respond Wed, 17 Dec 2025 18:29:33 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=160773 Snoopy & Woodstock is part of Skultuna’s Peanuts collaboration, produced as a paired sculptural object in gold-plated stainless steel. The two figures are cast as separate forms, scaled in proportion to one another, and finished with a polished surface that emphasizes their silhouettes rather than surface detail.

Displayed together, the contrast in size gives the piece a clear visual balance. It works well on a shelf or tabletop and pairs naturally with the other Snoopy figures in the collection, without requiring a larger arrangement or setting.

Like the rest of the series, this edition is designed as a decorative object rather than a character figurine. The focus is on form, material, and finish, with the Peanuts reference handled in a straightforward, graphic way.
