Description
The Urakawa is a pineapple ornament cast in polyresin and finished in gold, a decorative piece for a shelf, sideboard or desk. It stands 22.5cm tall and is 9cm in diameter, so it sits comfortably on a bookshelf or a narrow mantelpiece without crowding the things around it. The body is worked in a raised diamond pattern of overlapping scales, and the crown rises in layered, pointed leaves, so the shape reads as a pineapple from across the room. The gold has a bright metallic sheen that catches the light as it moves through the day.
We see it doing best in a living room, hallway or dining room, anywhere a small touch of warmth and wit is welcome. The pineapple has long been a sign of hospitality, which makes it a natural choice for an entrance hall console or a guest bedroom, and a thoughtful housewarming gift. Gold sits happily beside white walls, pale marble and warm wood, and alongside brass or gilt picture frames. At this height it works well raised on a pair of books, grouped with candles or a small plant, or standing alone where a single bright shape is needed.
Polyresin is a cast resin that holds fine detail well, which is why every scale and leaf tip comes through crisply. The ornament weighs 0.3KG, light enough to lift with one hand when you dust a shelf or rearrange a display, and it needs no fixing or assembly. It is a piece for indoors, so keep it on a dry surface away from damp, and give the crown a little room so the pointed leaves are not knocked. Placed at eye level, the gold finish and the deep texture of the body show at their best.
