The limited Roadmaster series boasts F1 racecar engineering to bring the best of both worlds to get your adrenaline gushing. The limited edition skateboards are hand built by industrial designer and F1 composite technician Alex Luxat in Cologne, Germany. The boards use carbon prepreg, airex foamcore, ash, poplar and zebrano for a rock-solid deck that doesn’t get weak even when baking in the sun. The board is finished with zebrawood veneer inlay beneath a UV reflecting “surfclear” epoxy hotcoat that is wet sanded, clear painted and polished to a mirror finish for s luxurious design inspired by the classic Riva wooden sports boats. These beautiful wooden boards start at $825. And, in case you are interested, order one now, as the manufacturing of the Roadmaster series is dormant during summer as low humidity is key to proper bonding and a clean finish of the epoxy.

Kent and London know the ABC’s of sustainable design, and we’re singing the praises of their stylish, FSC approved, solid oak chest of Alphabet Drawers. These 26 letter drawers spell function for the entire household, offering a variety of uses from storage in a child’s playroom or bedroom, to easy filing for a home office. Inspired by vintage printing blocks, this chest is a throwback to a bygone era, but it fits perfectly into our modern day desires for beautiful, eco-friendly design. L-O-V-E it.

This Vespa scooter is the work of Portuguese craftsman Carlos Alberto, who “managed to fashion one from laminated hardwood. The result is stunningly beautiful. The little scooter is based on an original Vespa which had fallen into complete disrepair, but using long-tested woodcraft techniques a flowing new body was constructed for the runabout. The main spine of the bike is fashioned from steam bent and laminated veneers upon which very nicely carved body work hangs. Even the package tray and seat are made from wood.

The “Magic” chair, designed by Dripta Roy, is a piece of art that’s designed to be functional and stylish. The design allows for the perfect fit of all the chairs nestled into each other when you want to save space, or expands to four chairs when you need them.
