What else is left?

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.

  1. dang, i’ve been working on sun glasses myself, they beat me to it…and i dont think I cant do better…those are well crafted…I think they used a cnc machine though…

    1. 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.
