Ornae. Wasn't this supposed to be about furniture?

‘A more holistic and basic idea of wanting to incorporate [art] into every part of life, less as an egotistical exercise and more natural somehow. I don’t know how to exactly explain it. Taking it off the pedestal. I’m giving it back to the people, I guess.’

‘I like the idea that my art could be on a floppy disk and you could send the floppy disk back and forth or even send the information by telephone’

—Keith Haring, 1958-1990

This TV hutch, shamelessly borrowing from Keith Haring’s style, has one PG rated side and and an R rated side. Some of Haring’s most interesting work was pretty racy and seldom seen by the public. We hope that Keith would have enjoyed this. This hutch was hand-built in the 80’s, originally stained cherry and varnished. It’s lost and gained shelves, been a desk, bookcase, toy-box, target and carving practice for teenagers.

It was rescued from the boys, rebuilt once again and painted as you see it now in 2000.

To Keith, wherever you are…
