British crash helmet manufacturer, Davida, has been commissioned to design and create a range of lids for the Rolling Stones Exhibitionism spectacle at the Saatchi Gallery in London. The show kicked off on 5th April 2016 and runs until 6th September 2016. There are so far just two crash helmets (that we know of) on show, both of which are based around Davida's existing Jet platform. The iconic "tongue and lips" device (designed in 1971 by John Pasche and made famous on the Sticky Fingers album that same year) features on both lids. On one, the device is painted in the original red. On the other lid, the new hues are the "corporate colours" from the Exhibitionism event.

The Rolling Stones crash helmets are available for £400 each. But what about investment potential? We have no idea. But maybe if Davida could get a few lids hand-signed by Jagger, Richards and Co, that would help. And the chances of that happening?

Slim.
