Juxtaposition: Interior Design & Skateboarding

What could be better paired with the "glamour" of interior design than the badassness of the skateboarding lifestyle?

This post was inspired by an ad campaign that always caught my eye whenever I passed by it in Interior Design magazine. This campaign is for the Software upholstery line by Patty Madden. According to the website, the line is "an energetic new brand of high-performance upholstery that will move any installation to the edge of what is possible", so it makes sense why they chose to showcase this fabric along with snippets of skateboarders in order to enforce the brand of the product.

After noticing the Patty Madden ads, I found some other pieces that combine skateboarding culture and design. Below are bamboo skateboards covered with architectural renderings that can be hung on the wall as art or used to do kick flips until your heart is content.

Next, is a coffee table that takes on the look of a mini ramp, and is actually skateable, too. Both pieces are by the Test Collective.

Lastly is a set of stairs that leads into the basement of the Roarockit skateboard school. Sick, dude.

P.S. Happy 20th to my favorite skaterboy <3
