Mljet Brass-Tone Knot Sculpture

Mljet Knot is a cast knot from LoftModern Curations: thick looped bands of metal interlaced into a single compact sculpture with a warm gold tone.

It spans 6.75 in wide, 9.75 in deep and 6.75 in high, a hand-sized object that fills a shelf corner or a tabletop.

The Design Story

Mljet is drawn from a sailor’s knot, enlarged and set on a table. Several rounded loops pass over and under one another and close in a tight cluster, so the form changes as you turn it: a dense tangle from one side, an open hollow from another. The surface is finely textured with small dimples, which breaks up the light and gives the gold finish a hammered look. The metal is aluminum, so the piece has some lightness for its size.

Why You’ll Love It

It works as a paperweight for a stack of books, a counterpoint to a vase, or a single object on a console. The tactile surface invites a hand. It also looks good in a group with objects of different heights.

Where It Shines

On a coffee table, a shelf or a console, set among books and a vase. It also looks good on a desk as a paperweight with some sculptural weight.

Questions We Hear Most

Does it have a front?

Not really. The loops read differently from every side, so you can turn the knot to show the most open view.

What is it made from?

Aluminum, with a gold-tone finish and a fine dimpled texture.

How do I clean it?

Dust with a soft cloth and wipe with a lightly dampened one if needed. Dry it right away and avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.

How should I style it?

Use it as the single object on a tray, or put it next to books of different sizes. Its rounded form offsets the straight lines of furniture.

Can it go outdoors?

It is meant for indoor use.

Why We Love It

A knot you can keep: all curves, no loose ends. It gives a shelf a focal point with some tactile warmth.
