For those of you who are not fortunate enough to call New York home (yeah, we’re that arrogant), we thought we’d give you a taste of our “Under a Full Moon” exhibition, which we celebrated with an opening last week. Click on the name of the artist or designer for his or her galaxy of goods. You might want to lean away from the computer so you don’t drool on the keyboard. If you decide against it, don’t say we didn’t warn you!

“Holy the lone juggernaut!” goes the caveat in Ginsberg’s “Howl.” Well, we might as well own our greatness so we’re going to be doing a bit of howling tonight as we instigate a wine reception celebrating our newest exhibition. We were a little out there with the name, we know, but it’s, um, a full moon. Snap!
Best to wear some shades: even if Luna doesn’t shine brightly enough to warrant them, the gallery’s glistening with new tidbits by a long list of the greatest names in design. We can’t promise there won’t be a bit of craziness afoot, as our avant-garde design tastes do bring out the edgy in everyone, but we promise not to bite (hard). Can’t speak for the other howlers around; just in case, we suggest you leave your pooch at home!
The exhibition will feature master Studio works and Studio/Industrial collaborations resulting in unique pieces as well as limited editions, along with current and vintage production. Just to whet your appetite, here’s a partial list of the artists and designers on view:

| The Cluck Necklace |
We know you think you’re making a statement when you dress to the nines for that New Year’s Eve bash—the one where everyone’s going to be judging your book by its cover—but we’ve got to break it to you: our baubles beat the crap out of anything in your jewelry drawer. Inspired by Dada, creating for Mama, Tom Binns makes unique pieces that will help you channel your inner anarchist and have you stepping out in in-your-face style as you ring in 2011.
You’ll have to have your ducks in a row to pull off wearing Binn’s “Cluck” necklace (shown above) but we suggest you dump the shy routine: it’s couture, baby! Yeah, we thought that would perk you up. This is one of his unique archival pieces. All the world’s a stage, as they say, and New Year’s Eve isn’t the time to treat life like a dress rehearsal.

| The Tekno-Chic Sunray Brooch |
Nobody cares if you’ve got a colorful past but they sure are going to ignore you if you show up at a party wearing dull accessories. Our remedy for the jewelry blahs is this kicky Tekno-Chic Sunray brooch. Go ahead, show ‘em you’re no geek when it comes to style!
|
| Silver Pearl Strand Jesus Necklace |
Be the one at the party who doesn’t get crucified for being dowdy by pairing Binn’s Silver Pearl Strand Jesus necklace, made of silver-plated brass and crystals, with that little black dress. The combo just might make you the night’s divine being.
|
| The Rectangular Face Watch Bracelet |
The Rectangular Face watch bracelet will prove you are ahead of your time in the accessories department. Might we suggest you take it one step further? When someone inquires if it’s nearing midnight, just look at them and say, “It’s midnight somewhere, darling,” and plant a big one on their pouty little lips!
|
| Gold Ball Cube Ring |
Dare to be square with Binns’ Gold Ball cube ring. It’s 22-karat gold-plated and it’ll look fabulous on your finger (quite likely better than that chap looks on your arm)!
