Well, this is cheeky: A B2B metal fabrication company in Japan called Morpha is selling their off-cuts on the consumer market as objets d'esign.

"These are the leftover lumps after [the usable] parts have been removed," the company writes. "From the metal scraps produced by our metal wirecutting operations, we've picked out the attractive ones from a product designer's point of view. How about using it as an object to decorate your room?"

Below are the company's actual captions:

"The central hole has a unique shape with a regular pentagon on one side and a circle on the other."

"The left and right sides (arc parts) have a glossy finish, and the others have a matte texture."

"It weighs 236g. It's the perfect weight for a paperweight."

While the company says the pieces have been deburred, they also note "This sample has sharp parts…be careful not to injure yourself."

These are going for ¥990 (USD $6.85) a pop.
