RAD Furniture makes metal furniture, as well as the occasional perforated steel skateboard deck, which you can build yourself in the from of onsite welding lessons for $350, or buy premade for $250. Think of it as an ollie strength trainer. – Thanks to MC for the tip.
I’ve seen loads of skate furniture before, some of it practical, some of it not, some elegant and some crude. This miniature picnic table is designed for little kids obviously, and it’s probably the one that is the least forced at of all of them. You can’t actually but the tables either, but you can […]

Inspired by street fashion and an active lifestyle, SPÄNST features furniture, accessories and items for storing, displaying and organizing some of your favorites […]
Just when you thought you’ve seen every possible iteration of skateboard based furniture, along comes Mike Bolster’s rocking chair. A single skateboard truck seems like it would have way too much pivot action to be stable, but Mike uses a double truck setup that keeps the axles parallel at all times. I imagine this would […]
