Iconic Carlo Rossi Wine Jug Inspires ArtistsInspired by Carlo Rossi's simple and straightforward approach to making and bottling wine, Seattle artist Jay Blazek used empty Carlo Rossi jugs to create six original works of furniture art.
The collection will be on display in Seattle during the month of July and touring through Minneapolis in August, Boston in September, and Austin in November. The collection of distinctive furniture pieces carries a straight-up approach that can be appreciated for its stylish, no-nonsense and authentic design.
Created primarily from empty Carlo Rossi wine jugs, these original works of art include the Chardonnay Chandelier, the Sangria Surround Sound Speaker System, the Cabernet Couch and three other one-of-a-kind pieces for the home.
"Unchanged for decades, the Carlo Rossi jug itself is simple in design, with practical elements like a screw cap and a glass ring handle. It's genius, really. Right away we realized that there were so many possibilities, so many ways of inventing something new and fresh from this iconoclastic form," Blazek explained.
Using empty jugs, an open mind and a little vision, we were able to give a second life to a few jugs that we just couldn't bring ourselves to part ways with."
