On Tuesday, December 13, 2022, American fashion designer Christian Siriano hosted The Elegant White Elephant Exchange at the PUBLIC Hotel in New York City.
From prestige spirits to bespoke art collectibles, the Elegant White Elephant Collection provides the perfect solutions for mass-appeal holiday gifting. Inspired by the collection, Jonathan Schultz hand painted a 23K gold Bespoke Cocktail Trunk.
“I want people to enjoy my work not just because of its beauty, but because it makes them feel good,” Schultz said.
“Putting my signature touch on the creative interpretation of the elegant white elephant allows me to share my artistry with people all over the world while elevating life’s simple pleasures.”
“I transformed an already stunning trunk into a work of art to display. I used multiple layers of 23k gold to look like it was poured over the trunk and to give it a flowing smooth look and made a hard metal look and feel soft,” Schultz added.
The offering includes hand-blown URI Neptune glassware and barware along with a 1/10 White Elephant sculpture that is part of the artist’s newly released Gemesis NFT collection. A free mint of his newly released collection also allows the holder to claim a physical diamond.
