Paroles Paroles Paperweight YOLO
by Ayşe Birsel + Bibi Seck
by Ayşe Birsel + Bibi Seck, this Paroles Paroles paperweight makes a cheeky statement with the “Yolo” slogan engraved onto the clear lead-free crystalline base. The result is both sturdy and elegant, playful and functional: an artfully irreverent gift and an inspiring addition to any desk setting.
