“For this project, I wanted to recreate a historical moment in some way. After going through a number of famous art pieces, this one really stood out as a perfect moment in time,” Bentel said. “Being a product designer, I see products as storytelling objects. The idea that the hundreds of objects that you use every day, like your toothbrush, your cup, your computer are utility, yes, but they also tell a story at the end of the day. They tell a story about aesthetics, the time place you’re in, the materials, and how they were made.”
