What do KAWS, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Hennessy and UNIKI Interactive have in common?

The love for Very Special things.

And it all came together in a beautiful VIP evening at the eclectic New York must experience institution, the New Museum, under the watchful eye of our fav nyc based event agency Team Epiphany (respect!), an evening of expectations and awe on Thursday July 21st.

We were honored and proud to be chosen for the delicate task of providing some of the most visible wow-moments for the VS(OP) night. The UNIKI mega digital shadow interactive reveal wall, which we set up in one hour sharp, was 36ft (12m) long and 10 ft (3m) high and breathtaking for most visitors. To quote just one: “OMG, this is soooo awesome…and I’m not even good at using computers!!”

The exclusive bottles will hit the store shelves in September ’11, that is if there will be any left..it is a limited edition numbered series after all.
So, a-a really…can’t touch this
