Beacon
Designer: Josh South
Materials: cast iron
The Beacon paperweight takes its shape from the triangulation pillars, or ‘trig points’ found throughout the British countryside. Available singly or as a set of three, the cast-iron paperweight can be a landmark for important documents or a visual reference of your workload.
Beacons are sand cast in small batches in the North East of England, at a jobbing foundry established in 1862. The castings are fettled and blued to create a rich colour that compliments the tactile surfaces formed in the box moulds.
