Art and furniture from skateboards

People are recycling old skateboards into shoes, jewelry, purses and furniture these days. Add Sansfurnace to the list if you don’t already know about it. It appears to be the work of Jeff Schaid, and it’s pretty interesting. A lot of it is obviously skateboard centric, but some of the pieces don’t even hint at their former existences. Sometimes the graphics play an integral role in design, and sometimes they are not even visible. Some of the pieces are just smart looking furniture that happens to be made from skateboards. A piece that screams “I’m a skateboard” can be good if it isn’t too clumsy. Sansfurnace is able to go to the next level. The shots above are from the “Work” section of the web site. Each piece has multiple views that do a better job of giving you an overall feel, so check it out.
