Five Pointed Golden Knuckle, designed by Atelier Van Lieshout in collaboration with Elisabetta Cipriani, is a ring that can also be used, if the situation demands, as a weapon. Available in an edition of 10, this design is made to measure—allow 3 weeks for production. Each piece is signed and numbered Based in Rotterdam, Atelier Van Lieshout was founded by artist-designer Joep van Lieshout in 1995. The studio is known for provocative, ironic objects and installations that challenge the boundary between manufacturing art and mass-producing functional objects.
