Skate Study House

In an attempt to appease the post-war housing boom facing America, the Case Study Houses was an experiment bringing together leading architects to design efficient and sustainable housing. The Skate Study House revisits this previous theme under a different premise. Regular skate decks and components are transformed into everyday household items and furniture in an attempt to make efficient and flowing designs. The installation was masterminded by Etnies founder Pierre Andre Senizergues and Gil Le Bon de Lapointe and will be on display starting January 28th at Colette.
