Edgar Plans Olivia Metal Paper Weight FigurePink

Product Description

The Edgar Plans Olivia Metal Paperweight Figure in Pink is a functional collector object that brings the Spanish illustrator's most beloved and instantly recognizable character into the most unusual and desk-culture-specific format in the designer collectible market, the paperweight form giving Olivia's gentle and slightly melancholic character a physical weight and permanence that the lighter and more playful plush or vinyl formats cannot communicate with the same material seriousness and presence. Edgar Plans has built one of the most devoted international followings of any contemporary illustrator through Olivia's specific emotional vocabulary of quiet sadness, gentle introspection, and the specific universal loneliness that the character expresses through her simple and immediately empathetic visual design, and the metal paperweight format gives those emotional qualities a physical density and grounded presence that feels genuinely appropriate for a character whose inner life is so weighted and considered. Pink as the metal figure's colorway creates a slightly unexpected and warmly feminine expression of Olivia's character in the most materially substantial format the character has occupied, the color adding visual warmth to the cool and weighty character of the metal construction.

Edgar Plans collector objects in metal formats represent some of the most materially distinctive and display-significant pieces in the Olivia collectible family, the precious and slightly ceremonial quality of metal construction creating functional art objects that earn their place on desks and shelves through the daily physical interaction that the paperweight format specifically generates between the object and its owner. At four hundred and sixty dollars the pink metal Olivia paperweight positions itself as a serious collector investment in one of contemporary illustration's most emotionally resonant and internationally beloved character designs, the metal construction and functional format together creating an object whose value is felt across every daily use interaction rather than only appreciated during occasional display contemplation. The pink colorway gives this specific acquisition its most personally warm and emotionally approachable material expression.

The Edgar Plans Olivia Metal Paperweight Figure in Pink was released on May 14, 2021 with a retail price of $460.
