By now, it’s certainly no secret that Tobias Wong is one of my favorite designers. His designs are almost always as witty as they are functional. Several years ago, during a collaboration with Ju$t Another Rich Kid (Ken Courtney), Wong created Gold Pills that were stuffed with 24-karat gold leaf. Rumor had it that if taken as directed (“once daily to increase your self-worth”) the pills would also allow you to, essentially, shit gold. An idiot friend of mine bought a set but wussed out when it came time to ingest them. He claimed that he couldn’t bring himself to waste them. Fair enough. Anyway, the pills (and their $429.00 punchline) are still available for purchase…
Note: I know there are entirely too many posts about gold on this blog.
