The Podlaski brothers from the US-American furniture company Deckstool Furniture have a heart for out-of-action skateboards.
They turn broken decks into stools, benches (which can also double up as side tables if required) or even key chains with a bottle opener function. The material is collected from independent skate shops and from skater parks, which sell the smashed up parts to earn some extra cash.
Customising is also possible: simply send your favourite, broken deck to Deckstool Furniture and patiently await its rebirth as an impressive piece of furniture.
