The Metropolitan Opera of New York commissioned us to create a custom line of pillows for their Met Opera Shop.
Where operas in general are known to be dramatic and visually rich performances, the challenge here was to capture the essence of each opera in very simple lines, elements and colors.
Inspiration for the Opera Pillows were the characteristic stage elements used in the seven major upcoming productions for the 2010-2011 season, as well as in the newly added Ring des Nibelungen cycle for 2011-2012.
The velvet backing refers to the rich fabrics found throughout the opera house.
Available at the Met Opera Shop. $35-$45.

Commisioned by the Jewish Museum in New York to create a series of products for their Giftshop, inspired by the exhibition 'Edouard Vuillard: A Painter and His Muses, 1890-1940', May 04- Sept 23, 2012
The inspiration for these mugs originated from the fact that Vuillard and the Nabi group of painters
he was part of were called out for their 'earnesty and their beards'. Besides adding a lighthearted touch, the images of beards also bridge the time between then and now, where we see more and
more beards in the streets again today.

Developed during a 4-month Residency at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York in 2011, these ceramics started from the notion 'I hate tea!' combined with a dose of hardware inspiration.
The ceramics consists of a cup & saucer, a bowl and a teapot, all with
a plug detail. The saucer has imagery of a 'drain' hidden in the saucer.
