Dbrand Launches the Touch Grass Collection of Devices

— April 3, 2025 — Art & Design
Tech accessory brand Dbrand introduces a look at the Touch Grass collection, which is a cheeky range of products that were first unveiled as a part of its April Fool's gag. The limited-edition skins are designed to reflect the look of the lawn, inviting users to truly 'touch grass.'

It was unveiled on April Fool's Day, as the capsule covers everything from smartphones to gaming devices. The tactile finish simulates the texture and look of the lawn. It was teased last year on the same day as a gag as well and now it is fully going into the development process. There are thousands of microscopic polyethylene strands that are detailed on top of a vinyl base to mimic grass.
