After experimenting with translating recycled skateboard lines into these patterns, we discovered that there was a bigger world of geometry behind them with endless possibilities. The experiment resulted in unique geometrical patterns that challenge and play with the viewer’s senses. The colourful skateboard veneers give depth to every pattern, creating three-dimensional effects that change every time you look at the artwork. This way every ArtDecko artwork embodies the playful and creative spirit of skateboarding.
We can guarantee every single piece will be a unique piece of art.
The other pieces of furniture that complete this collection can be seen in our DecksTop™ Collection.
SEVEN-PLY MAPLE
Skateboard decks are constructed from seven-ply Canadian maple wood. One of the lightest and strongest woods in the world. By recycling skateboards, the designer brand combines the colorful look and the strength of seven-ply maple into sustainable furniture designs.
DESIGNER
The ethos behind Netherlands based leading-edge brand Focused Skateboard Woodworks is their love of wood, especially seven-ply maple. The designers at Focused love the way it rides and they love the way it looks. Saying goodbye to an old skateboard is never easy. Most of us never say goodbye, just keep our old rides stocked aside. Some are broken. Some are just worn out. Others simply leave their old decks behind after collecting their new wood at skate stores. In the end, they all end-up in a dark corner of a basement, attic or warehouse.
Focused makes sustainable furniture designs. No matter how old a skateboard is, the colors of those old seven plies are still full of life. By recycling skateboards, the brand not only combines the colorful look and strength of seven-ply maple into sustainable furniture designs, it also gives those old rides a new life. Instead of letting them fade in the dark, Focused lets those seven plies shine in your studio, office or home. Every piece of furniture has its own story to tell.
