The Humble French Bottle Drying Rack Is Elevated To Haute Art!

It all began with an email from NYC artist BO JOSEPH

inquiring about purchasing quite few of our 

French Bottle Drying Racks

as well as some of our 

"Perfect Setting" paper place mats.

He indicated he needed about 7 for a project he was working on for the

Brooklyn Artist's Ball

in which he was to be an exhibitor.

His exhibit would pay homage to 

Marcel Duchamp 

(the one who created the bottle rack as his first example of "ready-made" art) 

and Bo wanted to cover them with images of works from the museum collection 

& incorporate lighting on each rack.

Sooooo....

We furnished him his bottle racks & place mats, 

and he promised to send me pics of the finished project.

Weeks later, the email came with some of the

MOST AMAZING PICTURES.

The gala was attended by the likes of Sara Jessica Parker, 

Liv Tyler and more than a few other celebrities and NYC socialites.  :)

What a fun night it seems to have been!

Just look at what Bo did with our  

bottle drying racks and place mats:

The BEST PART?

As Bo put it in his email to me,

"It was a huge success and a great party. I ended up throwing a curve ball into the project and wore a suit I silkscreened with the same imagery I used in the rest of the project."

Take a look:

Will you LOOK AT THIS????  

Genius!!!!!!

But then, that's what artists truly are, no?

Geniuses, in the truest sense.

Oh, here is a fun New York Times link

 that shows some

great pics from the night.

Thanks to Bo Joseph for sharing his big night with me

so that I could share it with YOU!  :)

If nothing else, let this inspire YOU to always RE-THINK the 

ways you use things that you use everyday....

Thanks for stopping by!!

Love,
