This week Henry Urbach and his team at the SFMOMA confirmed the acquisition of four pieces from CITIZEN:Citizen's collection. Doorstop by Tobias Wong, Cokespoon #1 by Tobias Wong & Ju$t Another Rich Kid, Cokespoon #2 by Tobias Wong & Ju$t Another Rich Kid and Swizzlestick by Tobias Wong & Ju$t Another Rich Kid.
We're really pleased at this, and feel that some recognition of these type of objects is long over due.
In case any of you have been living under a rock and don't know who Charles & Marie are, let me help you out. As their sign reads, they are "The Quintessential Lifestyle Navigator." Their site features all kinds of fun stuff to lust after. In this pic, you can make out our Ballistic Rose, Cokespoon 01, Cokespoon 02, and our lovely "Fuck Design" vibrator. Since we are a part of any lifestyle worth living in, they picked us up ages ago.
Tobias Wong is shown here on the cover of 002 Magazine with one of his gold pills, which he designed in collaboration with Ju$t Another Rich Kid. Inside, there are pictures from our show in Peel Gallery last month. All of our products, as well as Tobias himself, came out to show Houston that Citizen knows how to FUCK design.
As we were going through our daily rotation of design blogs we ran into a few old friends at ArtKrush.com: Ballistic Rose, Rubber-Dipped Chandelier, Boxcutter, Cokespoon 01 and Cokespoon 02, Swizzle Stick, Murdered Skull Pendant, and last but not least, Gold Pills. All of these spectacular items were designed by Tobias Wong and Ju$t Another Rich Kid and can be found in our store at citizen-citizen.com.
So as we perused through last month's issue of Zink magazine, we stumbled across a page full of shiny gold objects. To our delight we realized that they looked strangely familiar. Tobias Wong and Ju$t Another Rich Kid have created Murdered Skull Pendant, Cokespoon 01, and Cokespoon 02 which are featured here. All of these indulgent objects can be found at CITIZEN:citizen.
