On Tuesday October 13th, we are opening our doors to the public for Counter. Culture., a DesignPhiladelphia event promoting the De’Longhi Artista Series, a limited-edition line of laser-etched espresso machines featuring the designs of ten internationally recognized artists including fashion designer Nicole Miller, jewelry designer John Hardy, and interior designer Kelly Hoppen. Come enjoy refreshments and hors’doeuvres at 160over90, and meet with featured artists Mike Perry, Damien Correll, and Mario Hugo.

The De’Longhi Artista Series demonstrates De’Longhi’s century-old devotion to functional, beautiful objects. The collection of limited-edition espresso machines will be on display for the final time before being auctioned to the public through eBay Giving Works. (The auction runs  from October 4-18, 2009. Interested? Place your bid here.) Proceeds will benefit Oxfam America, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the fight against poverty and social injustice.

If you would like to attend, please RSVP by Monday October 12th, to rsvp@160over90.com. We look forward to seeing you there!
