Consume and digest."




from CITIZEN: Citizen



Quote:
In 2007 the Museum of modern Art in San Francisco accessions committee purchased several items from the Indulgence range (see note) from CITIZEN:Citizen. In 2008 these Four objects were on shown during 246 and Counting, a two-year timeline of pivotal objects in design that have not only shaped the world we live in but also the lens through which we experience it, curated by Henry Urbach, formally the owner of the NY based eponymous Architecture Gallery.

Gold Pills ar part of the INDULGENCE range designed through the collaboration of Tobias Wong and Ju$t another Rich kid (Ken Courtney) in 2005, who suggested “Like an addict, all I want is more. Like celebrity and celebrity culture, demand for luxury items is completely created.” As an extension of our obsession with fame, celebrity, and commodities, they designed a line of luxury objects: INDULGENCES (for the man who has absolutely everything). INDULGENCES addressed the creation of and demand for the unnecessary, directly commenting on the ever-expanding market of luxury items in our culture, seven INDULGENCES were created.

Capsules, that's stupid. Everyone knows gold should be sprinkled on, or in the case of clear comestibles, mixed in. But in all cases clearly visible in your pinterest photos. After all, the point is to show the world you can afford to do stupid shit.
