Cool Hunting

With summer coming to an end the issue of storing and concealing ugly air conditioners is once again a challenge. We love the air conditioner cover by Leslie Fry which was featured in the September issue of Dwell and seen on Apartment Therapy and MoCo Loco.

Made from plaster reliefs of gourmet cookie packaging, the sculpture is inspired by the same philosophy as Fry's larger site-specific pieces: "My task is visually translating icons and symbols that have historical, utilitarian, or personal significance for a given environment into site-specific artwork. And since in this case the site was my own habitat, the by-products of my cookie habit became the design solution." Leslie is now taking custom orders for these AC covers online .
