#1 ASAGI MAEDA "LUNCH SPECIALS" JEWELRY IN A BENTO BOX

ONE-OF-A-KIND JEWELRY SET BY RENOWNED ARTIST IN A CHARMING PRESENTATION

Asagi Maeda’s designs for the “Lunch Specials” are all hand fabricated by the artist, displaying her metalsmith skills and each has its own story to tell. The whole group demonstrates the artist’s characteristic charm and wit. 

It was the artist’s wish to make her works more affordable and she thought of the popular Lunch Specials offered in various restaurants in Tokyo. Patrons can purchase an inexpensive meal, consisting of an appetizer, 2 courses, and dessert, for a fraction of the dinner price. 

This donation also includes the Asagi Maeda catalogue: ''Stories On The Planet: Jewelry By Asagi Maeda'', from her solo exhibition at The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, Del Ray Beach, Florida.

Asagi Maeda is a passionate metalsmith, meticulously constructing miniature sculptures that are also jewelry. Fashioned from wood, plexiglass, resin, enamel, silver, gold, pearls, semiprecious and precious stones. The work is engraved and enameled by the artist with thoughtful narratives about family and society.
