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: bar storage with a custom touch , an old school record cabinet, a surprise home for your pet and a cabinet that stores your prints.
Each with their own their own unique past and story.
