@danielarsham on the one piece of advice he was given from his mentor that most resonates with him: “The longer you wait to take that chance in your life, the shorter the future is going to be when you arrive there.” #FallonTonight

Finishing the last paintings for my exhibition “20 YEARS” opening at @perrotin Paris September 2nd and @perrotin NYC on September 6th. Mark your calendars. I look forward to seeing you there. 🙇🏻

Releasing today at 12 noon ET. Only 18 Editions available. Please visit the website at the link in my bio.

The Venus Twins Necklace releases in an extremely limited edition. Only 18 pieces.

I wanted this piece to feel less like traditional jewelry and more like a collected artifact suspended between two timelines. Drawing from the same material language developed through my sculptural work and collaborations with Tiffany & Co., the piece balances erosion and precision in a single form.

One half exists in polished white gold. The other in patinated bronze, carrying the texture of oxidation and decay. The fracture between them divides contemporary object from imagined relic.

Each necklace arrives in a custom suede lined presentation box designed specifically for the work.

Available tomorrow at 12PM EST.

The Balvenie invites creative visionary @DanielArsham, in partnership with our esteemed Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie, into a landmark collaboration.

Together, they explore time as a shared language. Daniel’s work considers time through material, transformation and form, while Kelsey shapes it through flavour - guiding the character of our whisky with instinct, precision and a deep understanding of craft.

Rooted in a shared respect for process, artistry and human endeavour, this collaboration marks a new chapter for The Balvenie.

Bringing together two disciplines in equal regard, it begins an exploration that will unfold across whisky, design and immersive experiences later this year.

Releasing this Friday at 12 noon Eastern time.

The Venus Twins Necklace exists between two timelines. One half rendered in polished white gold, impossibly precise and reflective. The other cast in patinated bronze, carrying the surface of oxidation and erosion. A clean fracture divides object from artifact, contemporary from ancient.

The chain becomes part of the sculpture itself, composed of miniature white gold hands that suspend the pendant like a constructed relic assembled across eras. Produced as a limited edition of only 18 pieces, each work arrives in a custom wood and suede-lined box designed to live beyond the unveiling as part of the piece itself.

Official drop: May 15 at 12PM ET.

Arsham Studio Archive: ‘Porsche 911 RWBA’ (2023)

Back in 2023, I collaborated with Akira Nakai and @rwb_official on a one-off Porsche 911 RWBA, the first and only slantnose RWB ever built on a 964-generation 911. After completing the car at RWB headquarters in Chiba, we brought it into Tokyo and photographed it through the streets of Akihabara at night, drawing from the atmosphere and visual language surrounding Japanese street racing culture, manga, and the city itself.

Arsham Studio Archive: ‘Solid Platinum Key for 930A’ (2020)

In 2020, I developed a custom key as part of the 930A project, a complete reworking of a 1986 Porsche 911 Turbo. The intention was to extend the language of the car into every object connected to it, including the key itself.

Produced with @eyefunny_official in Japan, the piece was cast in solid platinum (PT950) and treated with an eroded surface, aligning it with the material vocabulary of the car. The original Porsche wordmark was replaced with “ARSHAM,” shifting the object from a standard component into something more personal and specific to the project.

The key functions as both a tool and an artifact, scaled down but consistent with the larger ideas of permanence, material weight, and the notion of future relics that run through the 930A project.

Arsham Studio Archive: ‘Mercedes-Benz Steering Wheel’ (2015)

In 2015, I produced a series of eroded Mercedes-Benz steering wheels, cast at a 1:1 scale from the W124 generation. The works translate a functional interior component into a set of four sculptural studies, each varying in density and tone. Composed from materials such as hydrostone, crushed glass, mineral aggregates, and crystal erosions, the surfaces shift from light to dark through the inclusion of volcanic ash and metallic elements, creating a progressive weathering across the series.

The steering wheel, an object of control and contact, is recontextualized here as a future relic. The repetition across four casts allows subtle differences in composition and surface to register as a gradient of time.
