The Story of ABDB Designs x the Grateful Dead
What began as a commission request from a private client to create a signature wall hanging featuring The Dead’s iconic Steal Your Face logo outlined with upcycled cross-cuts of wood embedded in resin – by way of our patented design technique – evolved into conversations with the band’s representation at Warner Music Experience, and ultimately the collaborative partnership we have today.
The band has deep meaning to both Co-Founders, which made the original productions - and current operations - that much more purposeful and exciting.
Available now, the ABDB Designs x Grateful Dead collection begins with two 24” D wall hangings: a single color Steal Your Face, and a multi-color (up to 3) of organic pigment swirls Steal Your Face, pictured below. Additional customization options include made-to-order pieces of artistic furniture, paneling, wall hangings, and more.
Co-Founder Andrew James recently appeared on Dead-focused podcast Guess The Year, hosted by Mike McClure and guest-curated by The New Yorker’s Nick Paumgarten, to discuss the partnership as well as his love for The Dead, and have a bit of fun with other guests in between.
