Object Oriented: An Anthology of Supreme Accessories from

A complete anthology of 25 years of Supreme accessories, Object Oriented is an exhaustive, never-before-seen study of the New York skate brand’s ongoing collaborative foray into the world of object design.

Noted design critic Byron Hawes traces the history of Supreme’s industrial design objects, from early audacious objects like a skate tool that doubles as a pipe and a discrete Fuck Tha Police branded paper bag to notable collaborations with companies like Spalding, Louisville Slugger, Everlast, and more, theorizing that ’Preme’s design is actually a highly curated alternative design museum, proposing an ongoing series of much-overlooked, yet highly important everyday industrial design icons. Examples include a Lezyne bike pump, Master combination locks, Box Logo Buck knives, a Braun alarm clock, Maglites, a Kidde fire extinguisher, and the ever-controversial brick; all are icons of design, though not usually mentioned in the same conversation as other iconic pieces of 20th century industrial design.
