MIAMI BEACH, Florida — For 50 years, David & Dash sold its larger than life print designs in the USA, South America and worldwide and now Jay Dash is bringing back a selection of those designs for sale to the hospitality trade. 

“David & Dash was the first to show American fabrics in China with a 20,000 square foot showroom in Kowloon. I’m now going back to China to relaunch the ‘made in USA’ Dash Art Group Collection of prints,” the fabric veteran states. “We’re planning a third quarter 2013 opening in Shanghai with our distribution partners there,” Dash says.

As part of the program, Dash has formed a joint venture with the JVA Art Group in San Diego; CA. JVA is a manufacturer of digital art for wall covering and fabrics. JVA will distribute the products domestically and internationally along with the over 500,000 designs in the JVA archives, Dash says. In preparation for the new Dash Collection, he contacted the original David & Dash artists to update the mid century designs in the collection. “These designs were originally used in 200 hotel projects from Miami to Palm Beach,” Dash says. 

There will be 125 designs, 500 sku’s in all, available October 1. The price to the hospitality designer is $25 per yard.
