Deadly Squire

Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) October 3, 2006 -- Park Slope design boutique Rare Device is proud to present Hayo Makamak by Brooklyn designers Deadly Squire (deadlysquire.com). The work will occupy the entire front window of the shop and can be viewed from October 4 - 29, 2006. November 1 - December 3, 2006. A reception for the artists will be held Thursday, November 9 from 6 - 9pm.

Hayo Makamak is a Chinook Indian phrase for 'plenty to eat', used derisively toward those of high status who displayed their wealth at big potlatches. It is the origin of the term 'High Muck-a-muck', coined by 19th century fur traders to describe someone who likes to throw his weight around and show off his wealth or status. The window display will become a fabulous larder of "food" - game, vegetables, fruits and pies - sewn from Deadly Squire's patterned fabrics. Inside the store will be a table laid out for a feast, with Deadly Squire plates, place cards, napkins and placemats, plus sewn drumsticks, pumpkins and other fall fare.

Deadly Squire was founded in January 2004 by husband and wife team Tim and Anna Harrington. They manufacture a line of home and apparel accessories from their own textile patterns. The fabric is printed in New England and sewn in Manhattan. Deadly Squire products appeal to the curious, mysterious and ornate. Each product is adorned with a hand-stamped tag and their signature dagger pin.
