WHY I COLLECT HAND SCULPTURES
Beth Dotolo, Cofounder, Pulp Design Studios
“My grandmother collected glove molds and displayed her jewelry on them. For her, decorating was all about bringing personality into a space, and those hands epitomized her classic, but bold sense of style. My grandmother passed away last year, and I inherited one of her white porcelain hand molds. I keep it in my bedroom, hung with a big statement necklace, as a reminder of how her style inspired me to always want to create beautiful spaces. On one design trip, my parter, Carolina, and I spotted brass hands that have become some of the most highly requested pieces by our clients. We use them to display jewelry, in a home bar, or just as a sculptural conversation starter. We love that they serve a purpose beyond just looking pretty.”
