David Stark is a celebrated party planner who orchestrates glamorous galas for high wattage celebrities, corporations and not-for-profit charities.

I have always admired David’s talent for taking humble materials like cardboard and paper and repurposing them as witty and wonderful objects. He has created a whimsical holiday collection for West Elm that are made from natural and recycled materials.

I love decoupage and the graphic element of words taking flight makes this bird a tactile and whimsical pleasure that has uses beyond the holiday season.

I used this piece to add a bit of whimsy to a client’s coffee table.
