Aaron is channeling her sadness over the state of the restaurant industry into action, and into jewelry.
The World’s Known for her innovative methods of jewelry making and selling, she’s applying her vending machine jewerly concept to a charitable project, this time stocking it with small silver chairs that can be worn on a chain as a pendant or displayed as a tiny art object, with proceeds benefitting World Central Kitchen.
“The Chair,” which Aaron designed to look like the most recognizable and ubiquitous version of a restaurant chair, sells for $250, with 100 percent of proceeds benefitting the nonprofit.
She said of the pandemic and its effect on local restaurants, “It has been heartbreaking as a New Yorker but the same thing is playing out with restaurants around the world. I wanted to do something immediate and I am thrilled to support World Central Kitchen.
