Vintage BYO 454 Wine Caddy by Richard Carlson for Brian Davis and Co., design 1978

In the creative landscape of 1978, on the verge of the postmodern era, Richard Carlson conceptualized the BYO 545 wine caddy/cooler. While overtly presenting a pop or space-age aesthetic, it offers a glimpse into emerging postmodernist trends. The utilization of color-blocking and an exaggerated handle mirrors the influence of Studio Alchemia's work from that era, serving as a precursor to the iconic Memphis Collective.

Crafted by Brian Davis & Co., this stylish carrier not only fulfills its practical purpose but is an elegant statement piece in all white. Ideal for outdoor gatherings like picnics, it accommodates two bottles. Possessing a vintage allure, the caddy is in excellent condition, featuring insulated walls for optimal wine temperature and a sturdy handle. You can definitely take it places. Noteworthy is its inclusion in the Museum of Modern Art's Permanent Collection, cementing its status as a design classic.
