After the enormous popularity of Nir Hod's "The Nigh You Left" coasters comes this set of dessert/bread plates.  These totally functional and hilarious plates are dishwasher friendly and perfectly sized for dessert, bread or finger food.  Each plate shows the same pattern and, unlike the coasters that have a raised pattern, the pattern here is a flat, digital print.  They come in a beautiful custom box for easy gifting.

“The Trump drawings were done as posters for the Women’s March in January 2017.  The images were then used by the Skateroom to make skateboards to sell. The proceeds, the money, goes to building schools in underprivileged countries.
My answer is Yes.”     Paul McCarthy, 2018

Originally designed as a limited edition sculptural piece, cast in heavy polyurethane resin, the David Shrigley Swan has been blown up, literally. This inflatable swan may be missing the graceful curves true to a classic swan, but with its hand-drawn blank expression and erect white neck, it knows exactly what it is, it is a "Ridiculous Inflatable Swan-Thing." Named lovingly by David Shrigley himself, the statuesque swan stands at 35 inches tall and comprises all that is to love about Shrigley's charismatic work, while also being pool-ready.

Printed with silk-screen metallic backing, this design can be used as a functional pool float or sculptural object. It comes in a premium box inside a clear PVC swim bag printed with the artist’s motto, “I’d rather be swimming.”

The float was made in collaboration with Cindy Sherman and the non-profit + POOL which is building a water-filtering swimming pool in New York City’s East River. This is a true passion project and an extraordinary moment to present a rare open edition product by the wildly influential and collectable artist and swimmer.

This dinner service by Sophie Calle consists of six porcelain dinner plates fabricated by Bernardaud. Each plate tells a portion of a story told by Calle entitled, "The Pig." When read in sequence the story is told in full and makes for a unique dinner party experience. The verso of each plate shows details of the service, the artist's signature, and Bernardaud's stamp.

This service is available in French or English. Dishwasher safe.

The story reads:
It is a silly story. I was about thirty. A man phoned to say that he and I were making similar work and should meet. I always worry I might miss out on something so I agreed. When he arrived he told me his art consisted of stopping women in the street and asking them to sleep with him. Well, he said, wasn't one of my projects all about getting strangers to spend time in my bed? He told me he was taking me to a barbecue. I spent the whole evening playing the maid, grilling sausages, serving and cleaning up. Time goes by faster when you're busy. Later he dropped me off outside my door. He leaned into me and saught my lips. I pushed him away. "What makes you think I'd want to kiss you?" I protested. "Well, anyway," he answered, "you eat like a pig." Even today, after all these years, his words haunt me. I can't remember a thing about him, yet he's still sitting at my table.

This set of four mirrored coasters entitled, The Night You Left, by Nir Hod are lined with digitally printed white powder that has a tactile quality. Decadent and eye-catching, the coasters come in black or gold and are backed with black velvet. Highly gift-able, the set is housed in a sleek black box.

The title of the editioned set suggests a lonely narrative, a moment of solitude when one might turn to drugs not for glamour or excitement, but for revelry and longing. “There is a certain magic in loneliness,” Hod explains, “you have to be alone to create.” He adds, “It’s not about drugs or glamour—it’s about the inside world, where you can dream and love and seek a greater truth—it’s about a feeling of being connected to something so human.”

Oligarch Nights by Nir Hod is a set of four crystal votives gilded in gold with the names Natasha, Tatyana, Svetlana  and Melania. The names are not in reference to any specific person or people (though certainly Melania has taken on critical meaning recently), rather they are iconic names the artist has been drawn to over the years. The series represents Hod's reflection on global contemporary culture from Moscow and St. Petersburg, its reverence to ultimate luxury, and the proliferating appeal of sinful indulgence as the gap between classes continues to widen.

These three souvenir teaspoons by Ai Weiwei make playful use of the artist's work "Study of Perspective" a series of images that's featured in MoMA's collection, amongst others. The photographs show the artist lifting his middle finger to iconic manmade landmarks around the world. It's an initially humorous act that signifies the power of the artist's rejection of authority. The teaspoons feature Tiananmen Square, the Eiffel Tower and the White House.
