Kuno Prey Bottle Brush Christmas Tree

I am looking for one of these. The Moma Store used to carry them but no longer. It is a simple, super modern Christmas Tree designed by Kuno Prey, a professor at the famous Bauhaus design school in Germany
It is made from industrial bottle brushes dyed green and then inserted into a bright-red wood pole, the tree looks great decorated or undecorated.
Here are some places with descriptions - click or click. If anyone knows where to get one, please add a comment or trackback. Thanks, John

John,
try this store in Portland, if you haven't already.
"MR. CLEAN DOES CHRISTMAS
Nothing says "Fröhliche Weihnachten" like a bush made completely out of brushes. A funky alternative to yer usual spruce-and-pine jobbies, the German-made Kuno Prey bottle-brush Christmas tree ($200, Greg's, 3707 SE Hawthorne Blvd., 235-1257) emanates prickly good cheer from every faux needle on its five-foot frame. Easily assembled (complete with shiny red stand) this Bauhaus broom will work its holiday magic on your favorite confirmed iconoclasts."
If you have any luck then buy two, I'll take one from you . I also think I know a place here in NYC that has one.
Merry Christmas! John Spiezio

Hi John! I attended the AMA luncheon Dec.8 and really enjoyed hearing your talk about your book, The Marketing Playbook. I am in the process of writing my first book and was wondering if you would be willing to contact me at your convenience? I'm at 206-769-4886 or andrea@sittignw.com.
PS. My brother, Carl Sittig, is a GM at Microsoft. Do you know him? Thanks John.
