Air Company

Air Eau de Parfum

$220.00

Air Company‘s proprietary technology transforms excess carbon in the air into refined vodka, sustainable fuel and now, the unique fragrance: Air Eau de Parfum. Subtle and versatile, the scent is inspired by the elements, blending top notes of citrus and fig leaf for Earth, tobacco for the Sun and and jasmine and sweet-water for oceans and air. Each is beautifully balanced, resulting in a complex, truly unique aroma that comes in a modern, clean bottle (available with a black, chrome or white cap). As the world’s first fragrance made from CO2, the perfume fittingly looks—and smells—innovative.

Kathleen Ryan: Daisy Chain

$35.00

Published by Karma, Daisy Chain is a 104-page hardcover catalogue that celebrates the work of NYC-based artist (and CH favorite) Kathleen Ryan’s Bad Fruit series, for which she embraces decorative crafts from the past along with nature, humor and irony. Ryan’s large-scale sculptures of bejeweled but decaying cherries, lemons, peaches and grapes (and even jack-o-lanterns) are at once beautiful and monstrous, and play with ideas about value. Along with compelling imagery, the monograph includes essays by Bob Nickas, Shannon Mattern and Heather Davis.
