furniture – Skate and Annoy

Rocking Chair Pivot

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 […]

Sit on it Potsie (part 2)

A felt covered skateboard that double as the back for your office chair. Spend your coffee break taking a few runs through the cube farm. Pure silly. Pure fun. Mobilité is a collaboration between Tim Defleur and Benjamin Helle. [Source: DesignBoom] – Thanks to MC for the tip.

DecksTop by Focused

Crazy expensive but beautifully designed and constructed by Focus in Rotterdam, these newly released tables come in two different sizes, and are constructed with the largest continuous surface area of recycled skateboard decks I’ve ever seen. The smaller one (200x90x77cm) aka DecksTop 33, is constructed with 33 skateboard decks while the larger (240x90x77cm) DecksTop 39 […]

Deck Stool # 2

I’ve featured Deckstool way back in 2008, but they’ve added new designs since then, and it’s worth it because how often do you get to use “#2” and “Stool” in the same post title? I’m pretty sure this is not how they envisioned their publicity opportunity.

Creative Miscellany

I understand the concept behind angled shelves. There’s no reason they absolutely have to be parallel to the ground to hold things. Maybe it’s because I don’t have a lot (or any) big empty walls and extra room to hold odds and ends. I’m hoarder and I need more efficient use of space for storage, […]

More skate furniture

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 […]

Sit down for number one

Skate Bench #1 on sale for $255(!) Which is $75 off! Originally part of a kickstarter campaign. Looks pretty cool, but the price is hard to swallow. Videos after the jump. Fancy pics at Kem Studio.

Skateboarding is vanity

Bathroom vanity fixture made from a skateboard and what I assume has to be off-the-shelf electrical parts. This would be OK for a skatepark, skateshop, or kid’s bathroom I suppose, but it definitely falls under the category of something I might think was cool as an adolescent but wouldn’t want to have around me on […]

Hey you kids!

Listen you little brats, how many times do I have to yell at you? For the love of Pete, that skateboard ramp bed is not for jumping! It’s for laying there and thinking about skateboarding. I swear I’ll get out the belt if I hear you muttering about how a $1000 might have been better […]
