This 6-story mural stands on the side of the home of Deskey Integrated Branding. The mural consisting of a black background with blue hands and white thumbprints was created by Perry Contracting as part of a renovation to the building and is a tribute to Donald Deskey, the founder of the company which carries his name.
Donald Deskey was a leader of modern design in the United States. He was a painter, an industrial design artist, and with Phillip Vollmer, worked with furniture and textile designs. Deskey became well known for his Art Deco designs and one of his biggest accomplishments was the interior design of Radio City Music Hall. From his company in Cincinnati, Deskey created product designs for some of the biggest household brands like Crest toothpaste, Tide detergent, and Jif peanut butter. Donald Deskey also created the New York City lampposts in the 1950’s and 1960’s – some are still standing today.
