Funhouse Satin Jacket

This satin jacket is associated with Funhouse, the New York nightclub that operated from 1979 to 1985 and became a key space in the post-disco and early hip-hop era.

Funhouse was founded Joe Monk, who was active within the New York club scene during this period. The club was known for its crossover audience and for bridging disco, emerging hip-hop, and downtown club culture in early 1980s Manhattan.

Manufactured in satin and presented in near-new condition, the jacket reflects the style of merch commonly produced for DJs, staff, and close affiliates. 

This piece represents an original period artefact connected to New York nightlife culture of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
