I made a chandelier out of anthora coffee cups, more commonly known as the 'Greek coffee cup' that has become idiosyncratic of New York City. This cup was designed in 1962 to be marketed toward Greek owned coffee shops and restaurants. My great grandparents came to America from Greece and they opened a small restaurant in New Jersey. Not necessarily because they had a affinity for preparing food or coffee but to get a fresh start for the forthcoming generations of their family in America.
