Kate & Pete

Kate & Pete This breakable cocaine pipe is named ‘Kate & Pete’. The hole in the inside of the pipe morphs from ‘Kate’ to ‘Pete’. If you break the pipe in two pieces you will find a heart in the middle. When I just moved to the UK and started my study at the Royal College of Art, this was our first project. My first week in London was during ‘Fashion Week’. To my surprise the English press kept the same faces on every front page for weeks and weeks. I visited a few fashion-parties and was amazed by the thick clouds of white powder hanging in the air. This project is a result of my slightly twisted first impression and the similarity between cocaine and the powdery nylon-material most Rapid Prototype products are created from. © Sarah van Gameren 2005
