His immaculately restored 1964 Willys Jeep was recently <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/02/automobiles/collectibles/02ego.html?_r=1&ref=auto_ego">featured in the New York Times</a>, but it was his fond memories of playing in the dirt that lead him to the idea of "Pickup". The beauty of any pickup truck is its utilitarian aesthetic - four strong wheels and the capacity to haul cargo and Harry turned that aesthetic into functional art as his latest piece for AREAWARE.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Below is Harry Allen at his Pound Ridge home with his restored Willys and his basset hounds, Ben and Emma:</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6_RPNmcdooXspMRk6GymMIvaKATZi1GKMAYnCmt2_09WhNE_HLa2ZrS6aWGFCQmWimiRdzlhUKZ1FxTRHTywgAOwOd-x_o66oksruTQX3KfW4sv_ugy13F8ZcG1jlKnV7tKWg0NxNX_Sa/s1600/600-ego-span1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529920553629735810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6_RPNmcdooXspMRk6GymMIvaKATZi1GKMAYnCmt2_09WhNE_HLa2ZrS6aWGFCQmWimiRdzlhUKZ1FxTRHTywgAOwOd-x_o66oksruTQX3KfW4sv_ugy13F8ZcG1jlKnV7tKWg0NxNX_Sa/s400/600-ego-span1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 519px; height: 321px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">above photo by Mark Rabiner for The New York Times</span></span><br /><br />Harry had function on his mind as he cast a toy pick-up truck and turned it into a catch-all bowl. As with all REALITY products, it is the material transformation that completes the idea. The cool-looking "Pickup" is an objet d'art that can serve as a bowl for keys, coins or even a planter for small succulents.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ojG_L1gjOAf8GG5CJiKP5LGC9JM4KFXwWDvKJtqAUnLgpQN4fy3EGEWO8suRVSq1b3Gr7o0eRuKM2gc5n732B6gja5lJryaaMYb9QlPLoVZiax0vBMVTQXhcTdIeqvuT8y2WiJgPRwcv/s1600/harpuw.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536082049616549842" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ojG_L1gjOAf8GG5CJiKP5LGC9JM4KFXwWDvKJtqAUnLgpQN4fy3EGEWO8suRVSq1b3Gr7o0eRuKM2gc5n732B6gja5lJryaaMYb9QlPLoVZiax0vBMVTQXhcTdIeqvuT8y2WiJgPRwcv/s400/harpuw.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 527px; height: 457px;" /></a><br /><br />The Pickup by Harry Allen is now available in chrome ($150) or white ($85).

Her aim is to substitute with labor and artistic value the characteristics that the material loses during transformation, thereby obtaining a product of higher value. The collection is named <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tertium Non Data </span>(translated from Latin means: the third is not given) and is an alchemic term which refers to the process of combining two disparate elements to create a new, third element.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVU1wEApJ8d5AfOOg4PCHzEIDfnfjNEMa5rNPY5E2z8LwSH-fR78wr3xBighG0kaL0iyypoCqLQ_w0iwoq1HGICknwB_uNz5-gG3lAGR5vx72wkEbzBjateu2dZoHxBYHbv8Okv7LXfpwn/s1600/recycled-bowl9.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512145009140882162" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVU1wEApJ8d5AfOOg4PCHzEIDfnfjNEMa5rNPY5E2z8LwSH-fR78wr3xBighG0kaL0iyypoCqLQ_w0iwoq1HGICknwB_uNz5-gG3lAGR5vx72wkEbzBjateu2dZoHxBYHbv8Okv7LXfpwn/s400/recycled-bowl9.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 524px; height: 517px;" /></a><br /><br />In this case the new, third element is a collection of diaphanous, attractive tabletop bowls that resemble organic creatures like jellyfish and sea anemones. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCTlaTKo_siEvUQqqXeWDblKhfreqKFKqt_KcE5Uo_kI8cTFQWd3trstxsXxYq2HaXUusZ9Gyd5C7dviTXPATtHlVPcZSwR_hSmZugqdKjNzlVUdtczUkvEsYjeJcgDv_719AfhqVjs7n0/s1600/bowls1.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512144507825769522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCTlaTKo_siEvUQqqXeWDblKhfreqKFKqt_KcE5Uo_kI8cTFQWd3trstxsXxYq2HaXUusZ9Gyd5C7dviTXPATtHlVPcZSwR_hSmZugqdKjNzlVUdtczUkvEsYjeJcgDv_719AfhqVjs7n0/s400/bowls1.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 524px; height: 404px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgNCd9y8ufjzmuyznUQ90LG1_HTykuDDXZpufSlY4puckWBniU7tgwrU5CNpiigS7Mczp8smSTdSHORUWIoT-zgkI0SHK0XTSYsiigqbUrRxF8nCdGF90J0clic0XNzhTV1r6FUJkD88nB/s1600/bowls2.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512143809714742914" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgNCd9y8ufjzmuyznUQ90LG1_HTykuDDXZpufSlY4puckWBniU7tgwrU5CNpiigS7Mczp8smSTdSHORUWIoT-zgkI0SHK0XTSYsiigqbUrRxF8nCdGF90J0clic0XNzhTV1r6FUJkD88nB/s400/bowls2.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 525px; height: 481px;" /></a><br /><br />The elegant perforated and ornate bowls are created from a regular PET* water bottles.
