Cast by concrete artisans, this lightly “cratered” moon push pin is sure to bring a smile to your face every time you pin that important note, newspaper clipping or photo to your notice board.
Cast over german-black steel pins by our friends Himi & Yao in Taiwan, they are then assembled by us in Tokyo into their handmade display-cases.
Each moon has a number of tiny craters, including a small arrangement reflecting the famous “man in the moon” image. The American flag is printed on the card insert that is set behind each pin, so it appears as if in its iconic setting, lanced into the moon’s surface, on a backdrop of starry, starry cosmos.
The perfect gift for space geeks, stationery addicts, and those loony about all things lunar.
