I thought Maple XO’s IPhone cases were the pinnacle in recycled skateboard chic, but I have to say these glass frames by brothers Baptiste and Gianni Vuerich are the new winners. I’d wear these if I could afford them. No idea how much they cost, but they have to be expensive. I found them while tracing down a tip from Michel Skart Poulin on a coat hanger these guys made. I kept trying to find a web site for these guys, and running across other items they made. The Vuerich’s are some talented mofo’s but they don’t seem to be able to hold down a web site.
These glasses rule. I found them here.
This chair is also interesting. We’ve seen lots of skateboard chairs before, but they all use the skateboard form essentially intact instead of using the wood as a raw material.
Lastly, the simple coat racks that led me on the chase, found on Recyclart.

Don’t let that stop you from making glasses! I have a much better chance of affording them if they aren’t imported from Italy.

Totally don’t let that discourage you. Thank god there are choices in this world.

You could alway come up with your own design instead of knocking off the Wayfarer.

Reminds me of Mr. Slate, Fred’s boss at the quarry

Very cool. I want a chair like that too.
