Inspired by stone forms that have been smoothed and shaped over time in riverbeds, this thick and solid glass paperweight is a great addition to any desk. Slowly worked by hand into its final form, we love its substantial weight and smooth, polished finish. Whether used to secure a stack of papers, held in hand to soothe your mind, or admired on a shelf, this object is appropriate for daily use and aims to remind us of our connection to nature.

Artist Notes
Matthew Abadi Having discovered and fallen in love with glass during a chance encounter, Matthew Abadi traded his life in finance for the life of a glassblower. Now known for his precise and delicate work, Abadi's glassware retains the unique and organic characteristics that can only be obtained through a hand-blown glass process. Rarely making multiples of a piece unless commissioned by a shop or gallery, he employs various glass-making techniques to achieve pieces that are genuinely one-of-a-kind. Whether intended to perform a specific task or be appreciated from afar, each object is made with a meaningful purpose. The resulting glassware offers a beautiful simplicity within the space it occupies and the space it contains.
