AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Austin Pipe company GRAV and Los Angeles based streetwear label PLEASURES hosted an exclusive one-night-only event in celebration of the launch of their "Working from Home" (WFH) collaboration. The first product from the collaboration features a unique spin on the classic water bong.
"When collaborating the challenge is always finding balance, the right recipe that creates a product or concept that reflects both parties and would never have existed had they not come together. One question I always ask myself is "are we decorating a cake or baking this together? With the PLEASURES / GRAV project, we were making a mess in the kitchen together from the start. When narrowing down the right design to compliment the Pleasures brand and the WFM concept our Wide Base water pipe was the easy winner, a familiar classic bong profile but with an edge. The collaboration felt natural from the start, and I can't wait to continue the conversation with the Pleasures crew." MICAH EVANS – Senior Product Designer – GRAV Product Development
The event was Saturday, December 3rd at local music hotspot Cheer Up Charlies in Austin, Texas. The event featured amazing live performances from Lord Friday the 13th and Billy King & The Bad Bad Bad. Energetic DJ sets were courtesy of Majesty of the Divinity and Jacob Singleton. Guests enjoyed screen-printing by Raw Paw and live marbling by Night Visuals. A unique work-from-home-themed photobooth was also set up by GRAV.
"The perfect collaboration is when the shared vision of both brands is realized. This project was the perfect intersection of streetwear, cannabis culture, and design. We were thrilled to collaborate with Pleasures once again, and to see the amazing response to the design just solidified the value of this partnership." RED RODRIGUEZ – Director Brand Partnerships GRAV
