Skate or Die!

Skateboards these days are amazing examples of graphic design, and some are practically art - what a shame that they should to go to a landfill after the boards have lost their pop! Thankfully, Pennsylvania-based Deckstools is here to keep art from the trash heap and to add style to your pad with their striking line of furniture made from reclaimed skateboards.



Inspired by the way that skateboards consistently break, designer and craftsman Jason Podlaski hand selects broken board parts, and builds every stool in his Pennsylvania factory. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Jason uses the cast aluminum trucks from the boards as hardware for connecting legs and seats. What a great idea!
