In celebration of Areaware's latest butter-centric accessories for the kitchen, Everything Nice Butter Dish (Sophie Lou Jacobsen) and Twist Spread Set (Pat Kim), we invited artists, designers, ceramicists, and other creatives to participate in a digital group exhibition for NYCxDesign Week. The artists were tasked with making a sculpture inspired by an everyday object that could only be made better with butter. The objects are ones found in their homes, studios, or—at least in one case—on their person.

When all of these butter sculptures were brought together, the result was a display of affection and appreciation for the objects that we might typically overlook but that, though small, hold a significant presence in our lives—much like butter, a simple ingredient that has been making our every day a little bit better for many, many years.
