About the Item

A fascinating marine fossil, a conical shell of Orthoceras embedded in a small rock, is transformed into a sophisticated decorative element for this unique desk business card holder. Each piece is unique and unrepeatable due to the fossil's natural variations in shape and color: shades of black, gray, and smoke that create an ever-changing texture. Designed by Nino Basso, the designer of the Fossiline collection, this handcrafted design object combines elegance and natural history. The "L-shaped" satin nickel-plated brass frame highlights the sinuous shape of the fossil, which is more than 360 million years old and comes from the Sahara Desert. Perfect for enhancing the work environment or as a valuable gift idea, this business card holder is a true collector's item.
