Street Style: Greenlane Celebrates Keith Haring with Collection of Functional Art

The artwork of Keith Haring’s iconic artwork seems to inspire collaborations time and time again. Street art is for the people after all. Haring’s iconic images have been licensed by brands like Casio G-Shock, Lacoste, and Disney. Now the cannabis community as its own line of Keith Haring-inspired products through Greenlane. 

Combining pop art and cannabis culture, the K.Haring Collection is functional art for both the collector and the cannabis enthusiast alike. A seminal figure in the New York art scene in the 1980s, Keith Haring has become known for his colorful graphic dancing figures, which he painted on the downtown streets of New York City, in subways and clubs. Haring helped change the way people perceive art – bringing it off the walls of museums and into public spaces. The K.Haring Collection embodies his legacy and vision, breaking boundaries and bringing colorful works of art into the everyday cannabis experience.

Both sophisticated and creative, the collection features some of the artist’s most revered works applied to glass. The ten-piece collection consists of high-quality glassware that may be used as décor, and includes all of the essentials for an elevated smoking experience: bubblers, rigs, water pipes, tasters, spoon pipes, glass trays, and catchalls that can be utilized in a variety of ways, including as a valet or an ashtray. Each piece is distinguished by Haring’s designs with four different colorways to be released in the coming months. A collaboration with BiC© completes the collection with eight distinct lighters in bold hues that feature a range of the artist’s dynamic designs. 

“As a longtime admirer and supporter of Keith Haring, his art, and his legacy, I am thrilled to introduce the K.Haring Collection,” said Sasha Kadey, Chief Marketing Officer of Greenlane and Creative Director for the K.Haring Collection.

“The art world has long had an intertwined relationship with cannabis and has in many ways been instrumental in the advancement of the industry,” Kadey added. “The K.Haring Collection will help our mission to destigmatize and elevate the cannabis experience. We are looking forward to offering this sophisticated glassware collection to Higher Standards customers both in stores and online as we continue to grow our house of brands and expand our direct to consumer business, offering innovative designs and products to consumers across the U.S.”
