A Special Exhibition: The Kokeshi

Karen Pearse is thrilled to introduce the debut Kokeshi Collection by Elisabetta Di Maddalena from KLEOS Stone Design to our 5th Avenue showroom. We’re honored to showcase this special collection that celebrates the connection between art and stone—something so close to our hearts.

These hand-carved travertine dolls are more than sculptural objects. They honor Japanese tradition through Italian craft, each one with its own name, personality, and story. Inspired by centuries-old Kokeshi dolls, KLEOS reimagined the form in Roman Travertine, creating pieces that feel both timeless and completely contemporary.

Featured in Architectural Digest’s May issue, the collection has also received the 2025 Premio Extraordinario at the Architecture Madrid Award, recognizing this beautiful relationship between art and stone.

Book an appointment for a private viewing at our Fifth Avenue showroom to experience these one-of-a-kind pieces in person.

Time: 10:00 am EST
