american artist shepard fairey has just collaborated with incase design on a series of backpacks and laptop and smartphone covers. the pieces combine symbols of peace from across different cultures with elements of fairey’s well-known ‘obey giant’ street art. the incase series comprises a snap case for iPod touch (30 USD) and iPhone 4 (40 USD); 11-inch canvas sleeve for macbook air (79 USD); and 13 and 15 -inch canvas laptop sleeves (80 and 90 USD); as well as a ‘campus pack’ laptop backpack (150 USD).
‘the artworks that comprise my series for incase all overtly or sublimely reflect the concept of peace. peace seems like a simple idea, but evidence of its fragility is far too visible. I believe peace, beauty, and harmony are not only related, but intertwined. visual symbols of peace manifest similarly in many different cultures, transcending language and reminding us of the basic loves and needs we all have in common. peace is a struggle, but whether the images are ornamental, hopeful, or cautionary, this series promotes harmony.‘ – shepard fairey
