A carpenter, bar manager, and gallery owner walk in to a bar..
Yes, it sounds like a joke but it’s true. A group of friends from diverse
professional backgrounds who all now work in the art world developed an idea
that originated during a conversation over a drink.
The art crates in which galleries deliver artwork are large, sturdy pieces of
furniture that are typically used for a one-time purpose of shipping an artwork.
My friend the carpenter often admired these crates that are beautifully crafted
from solid pine, and wondered how these can be repurposed and not simply
discarded. This is how Momentum Originals was born.
Crates that were meant for one-time use and shipped expensive artworks
through international ports are now appreciated in a new way: an old school
record cabinet with contemporary wireless technology, a suprise bespoke bar
Each crate is part of an edition of 100 and is numbered and comes with their own
their own unique past and story.
