Remember the room with thousands of flying keys from the first part of Harry Potter? Now imagine that they are all stuck in the walls, forming an intricate pattern. Phil Mortillaro's New York key-making workshop was overgrown with the manufactured products, like outlandish scales.
From a distance you will not understand what the bas-reliefs on the walls of the shop are made of. Just think, unseen: snakes and curls, curls and snakes. Didn't the owner find anything else to decorate the wall with?
However, if you come closer, you can gasp: the shop is covered with more than just metal plates. An ordinary key-making workshop, of which there are hundreds in Manhattan, really has its own face. Apparently, the crisis took its toll - and, so that the goods would not stale idle, the owner of the shop let it go.
Rough textured surface, glare of light on cool metal, bends of spirals. The stylish new design was completed by Phil Mortillaro in about a month.
There is a special chair for the visitors of the key-making workshop: it may not be the most comfortable, but on the other hand, both its seat and back are originally finished.
Time is money? Exceptions are possible: this clock is also an art object that complemented the original design of the room.
Does anyone else believe the proverb "A shoemaker without boots"?
