CROSSROADS

Concrete Gem stands at the crossroads of art, fashion, and functionality. Combining DOES’ vibrant artwork with Solid Gray’s high-tech design, this collaboration transforms a practical backpack into a unique piece of wearable art. It’s where creativity meets purpose, proving that style and utility can coexist in perfect harmony.

DUTCH DESIGN

This limited-edition project is designed, produced and assembled in The Netherlands, showcasing the shared dedication of two Dutch approaches to craftsmanship, creativity, and innovation.

ORIGINAL ARTWORK

Painting by DOES

At the heart of Concrete Gem is an original artwork by DOES, intricately crafted on the same aluminum material used in SOLID GRAY’s signature backpack casing. The vibrant, abstract design brings DOES’ signature style to life, transforming each backpack into a wearable piece of art.
This original artwork is also available for purchase on the DOES website.

SOLID GRAY® – HI-TECH BACKPACK COMPANY

“This collaboration reflects our shared passion for pushing boundaries,” says Jasper, founder of SOLID GRAY®. “It’s a celebration of Dutch design, and we’re thrilled to create something truly unique with DOES.””

DOES – CONTEMPORARY ARTIST

“This project allowed me to translate my artistic process into a completely new medium,” says DOES. “It’s inspiring to see how the artwork interacts with SOLID GRAY’s futuristic design, resulting in something truly special.”
