Denton Snark
Head of museum security, Denton was initially hired for his fearsome visage. A soft-spoken and genteel character in reality, his frightening dental work has proven a useful visual deterrent to would be trouble makers. Though he is proud of his office he is still a little self conscious of his appearance.

Boutique hotels and their custom light-bulbs

Boutique hotel chain The Standard has commissioned its own custom lightbulbs whose filaments are replaced with double-Xs that glow with delicate, pastel hues; other boutiques like Chateau Marmont and The Mercer also have do their own bulbs.

The 3 watt bulbs have a warm low glow. Dimensions of each globe is about 4.75″ x 2.25″ and they screw into any standard incandescent fixture. We love how they look on a light string using multiple sets. The bulbs are individually boxed with a KAWS and The Standard sticker and then wrapped again in an outer box that holds all three, also co-branded.
