Designer-provocateurs Ken Courtney (Ju$t Another Rich Kid) and Tobias Wong have teamed up to create "Indulgences." The big idea: mundane objects dunked in 18k gold to "address the creation of and demand for the unnecessary, directly commenting on the expanding market of luxury items in our culture. " Included: a ten-pound dumbbell set, a mini-racer remote-controlled car, and a gold-dipped Bic pen cap. Link to more info on coolhunting blog. Wong and Courtney have collaborated before, too — the porn-by-numbers t-shirt series here.
