In 2016 upon the heels of a trip to Japan where I saw vending machines everywhere selling all manor of objects. It struck me that we should do the same and I began building one immediately upon my return. It launched as an installation at the Brooklyn Museum and went on to a garden in Brooklyn and finally to Rockefeller Center. Precious things available to people in an unexpected and joyful way....that was my motivation and we are excited to keep developming down this path
