This is an interest check as I do love this piece but have been saving towards another car to tinker on :)
Spring/Summer 2006 "U-Turn" Carol Christian Poell Showroom Piece
Official photo from the S/S 06 lookbook
Photo from the showroom (Thank you Runner!)
To give you an idea of the ridiculously large size
On the reverse you can see all the spots where the veins used to be. Really awesome. The belt rug can be coiled either way as the buckle is removable/reversible in place just like his regular belts.
Width-wise this is standard CCP belt width.
This is one of the very very very few art pieces that Carol produced pretty much for showroom usage only.
Aside from mine, I am only aware of two others that are owned by stores and not for sale (to my understanding). Lift has one and KH has one... and me.
This thing is HUGE. Fully set up, the diameter is probably around five feet.
Precision cut from a large single, flawless, belt thickness hide, this thing spirals on itself all the way to the center with a token belt buckle hole. Carol's signature belt buckle is at the outer end and the leather underside is embossed with "Carol Christian Poell SAFE".
Constructed then object dyed a beautiful gray. The tones and textures within are really amazing. Hints of whites, browns and the full range of grays. The top was then polished with the reverse remaining sueded.
This piece is no joke and for collectors only. Featured as the backdrop to the permanent Carol Christian Poell virtual exhibit at the Mak Austrian Contemporary Art Museum in Vienna.
Like the giant leather glove that Carol also created, these art pieces round out his concepts for each season and present another facet to his design and approach.
Asking $3500 OBO and shipping is inclusive if you live in the US!
It's large, it's heavy, shipping won't be too cheap if you're international, but you'll have something that no other individual owns and is something really quite special from the mind of Carol.
Let me know if you're interested!
