The Bourgeois Brass Knuckles are a cross between two iconic objects whose cultural and socio-economic associations lie at opposite ends of the spectrum from one another.Originally designed by Jonathan Sabine, the BBK was initially produced in a numbered limited edition run of 50 by the Chromoly studio. Each chrome plated Bourgeois Brass Knuckle came in a laser etched handmade walnut box.

They were sold exclusively by Ministry of the Interior and have since sold out. The design has been licensed to a UK company. They have produced a large scale run under a different name and packaging. [x]

In new & improved, the missing or broken parts of old wooden furniture are replicated in bronze. This reverses the relationship of the broken parts to the whole: what were once the weakest parts of the furniture have become the most permanent and precious. This questions the conventional understanding of repair with its exhortations that things be restored, objectively, to their previous state. If you’re going to change something, why not make it better?. [x]
