September 5, 2011 Occulter vs. Black Sheep & Prodigal Sons by Ivonne Replica Occulter in French means to hide or darken something, or, hidden, darkened. In our case Occulter stands for dark objects and the sophisticated other. It's the name of a street-side and online retail project space curated by Black Sheep & Prodigal Sons' designer Derrick Cruz which stands for an exquisite mail-order and shop located on New York's Lower East Side. In its catalog one may find honeycomb necklaces made of gold, scrimshaw pendants fashioned from salvaged piano keys, a rare book collection installed to seemingly defy gravity… Inspired by a pantheon of fringe thinkers and risk-takers under the influence of the celestial spheres, Occulter seeks to fan the spark of one basic human necessity: a personal sense of wonder. Intruiging & inspiring -itd. edition pieces to love for life! Occulter
