Case Study in Skate Decks
Skateboard decks are a familiar sight in the hands of Etnies owner Pierre-André Senizergues, but this pro skateboarder shows they’re not just for four-wheel maneuvers. In an exhibition at Chez Colette in Paris called Skate Study House, Senizergues and Gil De Le Bon Lapointe reinterpreted the skateboard with a nod to mid-century modern design icons of the collective Case Study House project.
The pieces are a very cool remix of repurposed materials and design redux - a Corbusier chaise and an Eames lounge brought to form by reusing a cultural icon that was itself born of pure, youthful, urban innovation. Brilliant.
