This skateboard deck, derived from tree #236 has given Molly a renewed life, and is a collaboration that speaks to something greater than the sum of its parts. It embodies both Ray and Charles Eames’ and Globe’s belief in ‘taking your pleasure seriously’.
No tree grows tall indefinitely.
Culling is a near-natural process that complements the cycle and rhythms of natural selection. A process that Ray and Charles studied closely, spoke of at length, and expressed in the iterative and adaptive mode of their work.
After being removed from the landscape surrounding the Eames House, Molly was milled into a raw plank material and then carefully stacked to head to the kilns for drying. After more than a month of daily monitoring as these planks dried, they were then surfaced down into their smaller and smoother finished dimensions.
The pattern on top of the deck is laser-etched with the Eames design Dot Pattern. The high-low texture complements the need for grip that makes the deck skateable.
100 decks available exclusively at the “Eames Office: 80 Years of Design” Exhibition at Isetan in Tokyo.
