The MoMA Design Store announced today that they will be launching their first installation and pop-up store during the week of Art Basel Miami Beach!!!
The Skateroom will be displayed at the Delano,a Morgans Hotel Group property celebrating its 20th anniversary.
This immersive installation will feature limited edition skate decks with artwork by Andy Warhol made in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
Above: Limited Edition set of 32 decks each featuring a different flavor soup from Warhol’s 32 Campbell’s Soup Cans.
These exclusive skate decks will be available for purchase, in very limited quantities, with percentage of proceeds from the sales being donated to The Skateroom’s non-profit partner, Skateistan, an international NGO initiative that empowers children in third-world countries through skateboarding and education.
I am super-excited because this a trifecta of happiness for me as the MoMA Design Store always has the coolest stuff, the Delano is one of the coolest places on earth and skate decks with Andy Warhol artwork are the coolest decks ever!
Last year’s SCOPE Miami Beach was outstanding success with their over 100 exhibitors, 20 Breeder Program galleries, excellent social media outreach, innovative special programming and cool collaborations.
Can’t wait till December to attend this year’s edition!
