Skateboards come with colorful graphics and designs on them sometimes. Most riders use them right into the ground. Each scuff, dent and mark on the board was put there with passion, drive and a love for boarding. Eventually, the marks on the top become as imbedded as the original pattern itself. As essential to the board’s entire design as the paint and shape even. These marks of life make the board even more beautiful and unique.
So, what do you do when this piece of your life gets broken? Some people make them into gnarly shelves but most just send them to the landfill. Since the boards are essentially wood, they truly have building possibilities. This potential for use was discovered by brothers one day — one with a pile of broken boards and the other with a plan — and the Deckstool was born!! Clever name, huh? Once a deck, now a stool!
The way that the boards broke spoke of their own design. Most of the boards broken at the truck while a quarter broke in half. Therefore — legs and a top! The connecting piece is an old skateboard truck that holds the pieces together. The edges are impeccably finished and the end result is guaranteed to be of high quality.
These boards are broken, recycled and remade into furniture in the US and you can even send in your old board to make your treasured item into a new treasured item!
The stools are great in small spaces looking for eco-friendly furniture designs for seating solutions. These stools also make great end tables, night tables and occassional tables. Check out their site for the huge range of designs. The designs are only limited by the designs of the boards they upcycle. Definitely a site worth checking out!
Very cool, I really liked it. Is there somewhere I can check out more about it?
