Dubonnet?
This has nothing to do with my own work but made me laugh and think of my History of Design professor, Prof. Dooley. I bought a cup of tea at Uptown Espresso “Home of the Velvet Foam” in Seattle during a recent hiking trip in Olympic National Park and chuckled at the appropriation of A.M. Cassandre’s ‘Dubonnet’ wine advert. I always wonder about artist and designers’ intentions with using obvious references to other works. Ah, but this one has a french press! Tell your class I already found this one Dooley, its taken.
