Maurice Calka (1921 Łódź, Poland – 1999 Paris, France) was a sculptor, designer and urbanist.
Calka was awarded the Grand Prix de Rome in 1950. He was a professor at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris (ENSBA)-(National School of Fine Arts in Paris). He was a winner of a prize from the French architecture academy.
During his lifetime two of his works achieved worldwide renown. The first, made of stone, is in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and is ten metres high, a statue of the Lion of Judah, ordered by the Emperor Haile Selassie, who saw this as an opportunity to give a view of Africa entering modern times in 1955. This sculpture, easily identified by its silhouette, became a cultural symbol of Afrocentrism. His second piece is a molded plastic desk, the "Boomerang Desk" – based on a polished stone and designed at the end of the sixties – as a limited edition. This piece of furniture was the forerunner of the objects designed during the rest of the following decade. It has been presented in numerous publications and exhibitions.

As I always say, art must speak the language of the times we are living in. The goal of this drop is just that, to crystallize a moment, to speak the language of our community, to highlight the idioms, attitudes and behaviors of those who are part of it.
It is from here that “Fly me to the moon” was born.
The themes explored by each artwork are, in my way, the ones we discuss every day on Discord, Twitter and Reddit. There is the "bubble", there are the $ 1 global bids, there are blue chip artists and so on. There are ...

As I always say, art must speak the language of the times we are living in. The goal of this drop is just that, to crystallize a moment, to speak the language of our community, to highlight the idioms, attitudes and behaviors of those who are part of it.
It is from here that “Fly me to the moon” was born.
The themes explored by each artwork are, in my way, the ones we discuss every day on Discord, Twitter and Reddit. There is the "bubble", there are the $ 1 global bids, there are blue chip artists and so on. There are also some Easter eggs that only some communities aficionados will find. Other artworks instead are focused purely on me, on my emotions and on what I want to scream at the world.
The visually recurring theme is that of space, the houses in which the riot guy acts have furnitures and design pieces inside them ranging from the 60s and 70s: the years in which space navigation was predominant.
Among the many objects and furnishings, you will find the 'Ufo' dining table designed by Luigi Saccardo, 'Le Témoin' by Man Ray, the coffee table 'Shilling' by Giovanni Ausenda & Guido Baldi Grossi, the lamp 'Pillola' by Cesare Casati and Emanuele Ponzio, the 'Boomerang desk' by Maurice Calka, the 'Atollo' lamp by Vico Magistretti, the armchair 'Elda' by Joe Colombo and so on.
