decked out: skate study furniture

designers pierre andre senizergues and gil le bon de laPointe use skateboard decks and skate parts to recreate iconic mid-century furniture for the skate study house.  i first saw pierre and gil's decked out decks at the dwell on design show, and i gotta say, their goods are quite groovy.

but, what i really want to know is -- how come all of the skateboarders i dated had cable-spool coffee tables, cinder block bookshelves, and milk crate chairs for furniture?

(above: "astro clock" created with 12 skateboard wheels and bearings;  "god father lounge chair & ottoman" composed of seven walnut laminated decks with cushions.)

clockwise from top left:  skate wall partition;  hang up coat rack;  stax chair;  nova floor lamp;  tokyo lounge table.

I saw these at the Dwell show, too. I thought the pieces looked great, especially the skate wall and stax chair.

Oh, honey, my skateboarding ex-boyfriend wasnt
even sophisticated enough to have the milk crate furniture.
