Some pretty dope s**t hit my inbox via Upper Playground. UP is releasing a new time-capsule piece by Hebert Baglione. The capsule takes the shape of a night stand box, and includes three tee from Baglione. Check out the press release and how you can get yours below.
Press Release:
Upper Playground is releasing a four piece capsule collection from the internationally renowned, Herbert Baglione. Herbert has most recently opened one of the biggest installations the art scene of Sao Paulo has seen, “TRANSFER,” featuring Herbert himself, Thomas Campbell, Sesper, Flip, ESPO, Barry McGee and more. Herbert is known for his ornate, ethereal style and this style is incorporated into all the pieces of the capsule collection.
The first part of the capsule is a hand-made wooden night-stand box with a screen printed Herbert Baglione print mounted on the top, only 50 have been made. Every detail of the box adheres to the same intricate detail that Herbert puts into his artwork, and Francisco Robles (master furniture designer and woodworker) aimed to complement the artwork with his hand construction of the boxes. Using a selection of alder and poplar woods which have been finished to a furniture grade, Francisco added his own collaborative touch to Herbert’s artwork and “crafted the edging to mirror the uniform molding that is found in many older San Francisco apartments.” The Herbert Baglione print finishes off the box and is screen-printed onto thin archival cougar white paper which has then been mounted and coated with a light satin lacquer finish.
The rest of the capsule is composed of three t-shirts (Mulher, Crime and Cabeca) featuring Herbert’s subtle yet striking work on our premium line t-shirts, which are made of a softer, finer cotton and have a slightly slimmer fit.
The box is available exclusively online at our web store, and the t-shirts are available at all Upper Playground retail locations and on the webstore.
