Robert Mangold for Swid Powell Letter Opener, 1980s . Signed

Creator: Robert Peter Mangold
Offered by: MA+39

Description
An architectural letter opener designed by American artist Robert Mangold for Swid Powell, circa 1980s. Executed in polished silver-tone metal with a brass cube finial, the piece features Mangold’s signature minimalist vocabulary—clean lines, geometric logic, and sculptural balance. The pierced grid motif is a nod to his exploration of form and symmetry, while the brass element adds a touch of warmth and conceptual depth. Both functional and collectible, this desk accessory exemplifies Swid Powell’s mission to bring postmodern design into the realm of everyday objects through collaborations with important contemporary artists and architects. Stamped “Swid Powell / RM” on the blade. A rare and refined object for collectors of 20th-century design, postmodern ephemera, or contemporary art editions.
