Helinox, the brand that created the category of lightweight, portable furniture, and OBEY, a street art project and an experiment in phenomenology by artist and skateboarder Shepard Fairey, have introduced Helinox x OBEY.
The collection is the result of two creative forces coming together with a shared love for art, streetwear, and design, and features six unique pieces of Helinox kit in full black with signature OBEY trims and artwork.
“The juxtaposition of city life and outdoors was the inspiration for the project,” said Steve Ternosky, CEO, OBEY Clothing. “Finding those spaces to get away from the traffic and the density that define a city, and exploring the outdoors in your backyard. Working with Helinox offered the opportunity to channel their expertise in outdoor products and blend that with our cut-and-sew pieces. The final product was a true collaboration, mixing the best of both brands to offer something new and unique to both sides.”
Helinox Global CEO Young Lah added, “As a design-first brand with roots in art, fashion, outdoors and music, we were honored to collaborate with OBEY on the latest collection. Both brands are heavily influenced by the creativity and personal expression, and the signature OBEY artwork has come to mean many things, from truly seeing what’s before us to the freedom and meanings behind street art. Helinox products are highly visual, and offer a natural canvas for carrying a message.”
The Helinox and OBEY Collaboration includes the Sunset Chair, a high-back, comfortable chair that sits well off the ground and packs down for easy transport; Table One Hardtop, a go-to for outdoor gatherings that provide superior stability while remaining exceptionally light and packable; Personal Shade, delivering protection from the sun with an intelligent, minimalist design; Laundry Bag, a simple yet functional day bag; Sacoche, a perfectly-sized shoulder bag for carrying essentials, and the Cushion Cover, adding a unique pop to accompany the Helinox x OBEY Sunset Chair or any other location.
