designer's own words:
"coke slab" by sebastian errazuriz
watching friends carefully do lines of cocaine during a house party in new york; designer and artist sebastian errazuriz sipped away his whisky and thought that what his friends were doing was totally wrong. while everyone continued partying, sebastian errazuriz retreated to a corner and started scribbling away notes.
the next party errazuriz arrived with a gift he had designed for his friends. "i thought this might make the whole process a lot easier" he said while handing the first prototype of his stainless steel "cocaine slab". with four linear slots embedded in the steel, the new "coke slab" allowed the "user" to create four perfect cocaine lines by simply swiping the drug over the slots. His friend thanked him but laughed: "You can tell cocaine is not your thing sebastian; these lines are way too fat... I'd go crazy if I did lines that size!"
with a little help from his friends; the coke slab design was perfected and is now a limited edition design/art piece and can be purchased at the art and design online store "gray area".
