Thinking of You — No. 02

A curation for slow hours, deep ideas, and the particular pleasure of looking at something made by hand — centuries ago or yesterday. This box was assembled for the ones who see the world differently, who find meaning in brushstrokes and shadow, and who understand that making something, even a single sketch, changes how you move through the day.

Taschen — Caravaggio, Basic Art Series Written by Gilles Lambert — a Parisian art historian who spent his life between Rome and Paris, and dedicated much of it to the Italian Baroque. 96 pages, hardcover. Caravaggio: the painter who revolutionised light, shadow, and the human face in the same stroke. A compact volume designed for both newcomers and those who already know the name and want to understand it more deeply.

Taschen — Rodin, Basic Art Series Produced in collaboration with the Musée Rodin, written by curator and art historian François Blanchetière. 96 pages, hardcover. Rodin broke from academic tradition by centering movement, emotion, and the expressive power of incomplete form. This volume retraces the genesis of his sculptures — from clay to plaster to bronze to marble — revealing how material and feeling became inseparable. A book about hands that shaped the world.

Karst — Woodless Graphite Pencils, Set of 5 Solid graphite, no wood casing. Each pencil offers varied line weights depending on pressure and angle — a single tool with a wide range. Minimalist, precise, and quietly satisfying to hold. Made for the hand that knows what it wants to say before it says it.

Printworks — Artist Drawing Paper Hot pressed, A4, 150 GSM, 50 sheets. Smooth yet responsive — the surface that holds a light pencil mark as well as a bold expressive stroke. Not a sketchbook. A stack of possibilities, each sheet waiting for whatever arrives first.

Handmade Glass Hourglass Blown glass, handmade, H: 15 cm or 19 cm. Each piece slightly different from the last — variations in color distribution and form that speak to the hand that made it. Decorative and functional, it marks time without urgency. Placed on a desk, it becomes a quiet reminder that the hour belongs to whoever is in the room.
