DecksPad by Focused Skateboard Woodworks
A coffee table you can skateboard on? Indeed, says Danilo Nedic, a Rotterdam-based designer and co-founder of Focused Skateboard Woodworks with fellow designer Jeroen Dekker. The company salvages broken and worn-out skateboards by slicing off pieces against the grain, which exposes colorful layers of plywood. Glued and smoothed onto a frame, skateboards get a new life as a fine-looking piece of furniture with an even better story. DecksPad, inspired by the stubby manual pads at skate parks, is strong enough for manual tricks, but meant for supporting a cup of espresso.
