There’s not much to be said about this classic snow globe design from the duo Ligorano/Reese. It’s the perfect gift for many occasions.

This set of four mirrored coasters entitled, The Night You Left, by Nir Hod are lined with digitally printed white powder that has a tactile quality. Decadent and eye-catching, the coasters come in black or gold and are backed with black velvet. Highly gift-able, the set is housed in a sleek black box.

The title of the editioned set suggests a lonely narrative, a moment of solitude when one might turn to drugs not for glamour or excitement, but for revelry and longing. “There is a certain magic in loneliness,” Hod explains, “you have to be alone to create.” He adds, “It’s not about drugs or glamour—it’s about the inside world, where you can dream and love and seek a greater truth—it’s about a feeling of being connected to something so human.”

These three souvenir teaspoons by Ai Weiwei make playful use of the artist's work "Study of Perspective" a series of images that's featured in MoMA's collection, amongst others. The photographs show the artist lifting his middle finger to iconic manmade landmarks around the world. It's an initially humorous act that signifies the power of the artist's rejection of authority. The teaspoons feature Tiananmen Square, the Eiffel Tower and the White House.

Originally designed as a limited edition sculptural piece, cast in heavy polyurethane resin, the David Shrigley Swan has been blown up, literally. This inflatable swan may be missing the graceful curves true to a classic swan, but with its hand-drawn blank expression and erect white neck, it knows exactly what it is, it is a "Ridiculous Inflatable Swan-Thing." Named lovingly by David Shrigley himself, the statuesque swan stands at 35 inches tall and comprises all that is to love about Shrigley's charismatic work, while also being pool-ready.

Kiki is the new fragrance from contemporary artist Kiki Smith, designed in collaboration with the award-winning French fragrance designer, Christophe Laudamiel. Kiki is a study of balance and contrast and is unabashedly green and fresh while deeply and unexpectedly, lush, warm, and dynamic. The fragrance evokes Kiki’s most significant olfactory memories: musks, boxwood, patchouli and sandalwood next to fresh, ripe foliage, and fig leaf notes. The uniquely soothing, enveloping warmth and herbaceousness of blue chamomile and the bright and summery smell of narcisse create an incandescent, satisfying and fearless scent that is diffusive and illuminating.

This 100% silk eye mask features the warm, wise eyes of Louise Bourgeois. On the trim and reversible side is a beautiful blue and white pattern in case you're feeling more subtle.

In the early 1980s, Sol LeWitt and his family bought a rustic farmhouse in Spoleto, Italy. While in Rome looking for new dishes, he and his wife, Carol, discovered that the maiolica pottery they so admired was made locally, almost in their backyard, in Deruta. Italy. The craftspeople in Deruta were continuing the more than 600 year old tradition of creating maiolica, a technique of applying a glossy base glaze whitened with tin oxide onto fired clay pottery. Vivid, hand-painted colors are then added and the pieces are fired again.

LeWitt designed his own dinnerware in Deruta and these same pieces are available through Artware Editions in the full range of colors the artist intended. Each piece is made by hand by the same artisans who for generations have kept this proud and classic Italian tradition alive. This dinnerware is lead-free and dishwasher safe.

If we do not already have it in stock, the fabrication time is approximately 12 weeks.

The Broken Juice Glass is a limited edition set of four different glasses conceived by Roy McMakin, exclusively for Artware Editions. For this edition, the artist has taken the simplicity of four small glasses and imposed on them a complex reworking of the aphorisms “THINGS CHANGE” and “CHANGE THINGS”. Because of their transparency and shape, McMakin is able to use the seriality of the glasses to play out a conceptual progression: the first glass is clear, on the second the phrasing is shown in its entirety on the front of the glass, and on the third and fourth the text is printed in a band around the glass but appears to be illegible. One must perfectly line up the fragmented text (a greater challenge from the third to the fourth) from the front through to the back of these to make sense of the parts. When the glasses are full, the front text appears incoherent but as the glass empties things change and all is clear.

McMakin’s art practice explores how functionality influences meaning within the medias of sculpture, photography, design, and architecture. He has had recent solo exhibitions at such prestigious venues as the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Henry Art Gallery, Seattle; and Matthew Marks Gallery, New York. He lives and works in Seattle.

Craig Damrauer's "New Math Collection" includes kitchen towels and mugs featuring the artist's humorous text pieces in the form of equations. The dyed cotton/linen blend towels are great in the kitchen, as a hostess gift, or framed on the wall. Machine Washable.

Produced in collaboration with Pendleton Mills, this limited edition blanket designed by Mickalene Thomas is the first in a series of four blankets the artist has designed exclusively for Artware Editions. Each design will feature a different female model with intricate braiding and other bold details that present a strong, graphic image. The reverse side of the blanket shows the same design in negative giving the blanket two distinct looks.

The blanket is a soft blend of wool and cotton and is perfect as a throw, a bed covering for a full or queen sized bed, or a wall hanging. A sewn-on, suede patch signed and numbered by the artist accompanies each blanket.

The Lena blanket was released in 2014 and has been featured in Elle Decor and Casa Vogue.

Laura Letinsky is an American contemporary photographer who has a long-standing engagement with the traditional genre of still-life painting. The images in her photographs show a collection of objects, some of which are found and some of which are made. Those that she makes reference actual objects in her life like the forms found in the Molosco collection of white, hand-painted porcelain tableware with gold trim. This collection of functional wares dates back to 2009 when the artist was in need for a perfect bowl for serving soup. Having studied both photography and ceramics she began to experiment with finding the right bowl form and then quickly expanded to include plates, cups, serving platters and more bowls, all of which she eventually incorporated into her photography.

Letinsky then joined forces with Jose Noé Suro Salceda, owner of Ceramicasuro, a porcelain producer in Guadalajara, who is also an avid art collector and has a history of collaborating with contemporary artists like Judy Ledgerwood, Arturo Herrerra, Liam Gillick, Marcel Dzama, and Jorge Pardo. Together he and Letinsky set out to make the Molosco collection that maintains Letinsky’s artistic vision while being entirely usable.

The collection includes a vase, a serving platter, decorative plates, dinner plates, and cup/saucer sets. All of the objects are packaged in presentation boxes and crafted from the same fine, glazed porcelain. The dinnerware is dishwasher safe but, not microwaveable.

The subject of flowers illustrates Warhol’s serial principle perhaps more succinctly and yet more poetically than any other.  Thus, in depicting flowers, the natural potential of plants to proliferate is combined with their technical reproducibility as decorative motifs for mass production.

Although the fragile and ephemeral nature of flowers was transferred by Warhol to the realm of monumentality, an air of vulnerability and nostalgia also clings to his Flowers. In fact, his first flower pictures followed on directly from his Disaster series, in which he focused on media images revolving around death. Warhol’s Flowers can, therefore, also be seen in light of flowers as a symbol of fugacity and death.” - Dr Raphaël Bouvier, Curator, Beyeler Foundation

Our partners at The Skateroom, who collaborated with The Andy Warhol Foundation and The Beyeler Foundation to make this edition, donate a significant part of their profit to support social initiatives that make the world a better place.  For each edition sold, $180 will be donated to support Skateistan, a non-profit that uses skateboarding and education for youth empowerment in Afghanistan, Cambodia and South Africa.  This  amount is the equivalent of learning supplies for their Skate and Create programs worldwide for one week (including art supplies and basic skate supplies).
