Skateboard, 2024

$11,000
Description

The skateboard was designed for Pharrell Williams as part of a collaboration with JOOPITER. His familiar skateboard was reinterpreted using aluminum, exploring a new approach to material and form. 


As part of Niceworkshop's 'Neo-Naturalism' series, the project examines the fusion of artificial materials, modern technology, and handcrafted techniques to reinterpret natural forms. To create a seamless transition from traditional wooden skateboards to aluminum, I meticulously hand-engraved a wood grain texture onto the surface preserving a sense of familiarity while emphasizing the material's distinct characteristics.


By blending material innovation with refined craftsmanship, the skateboard becomes a contemporary reinterpretation of its classic form.
