OYSTERS "ROCKEFELLER"

“The World is (Y)Our Oyster”

Local luxury riff on...

Oysters “Rockefeller”

OrangeHOWELL’s Oysters “Rockefeller” was initially envisioned at Zadie’s Oyster Room (Chef, Mike Campanile) while considering the natural beauty of each oyster as individuals within our diverse democratic society, however polarized politically. Natural uniqueness reaffirmed in every oyster shell, that creation, which is to say LOVE, trumps everything. “The World is Our Oyster”.

December 2017: Fast-forward to a fine gilding techniques at Alpha Workshops, taught by the illustrious Carol Cannon. The nexus of Oysters “Rockefeller” Collection was borne by fusing oceanic elements with epicurean urbanity. Reminiscent of Portuguese Manueline architecture that marks the transition from Late Gothic to Renaissance. Discards transformed, Mother Nature is accentuated into repurposed beauty.

“Design alias” OrangeHOWELL® reinterprets iconic motifs as codified luxury and beautifies the quotidian aiming to instill a relevant perspective.
