Element has collaborated with Imaginary Foundation on a series of skatedecks.

“The Imaginary Foundation is a think tank from Switzerland that does experimental research on new ways of thinking and the power of the imagination. They hold dear a belief in human potential and seek progress in all directions. The small clandestine team is headed up by the mysterious “Director,” a 70 something uber intellectual who’s father founded the Dadist movement. Avoiding direct publicity the team has sought streetwear as an unlikely vehicle for bringing their ideas beyond the academic realm and into popular culture.”

Visually the graphics by Imaginary Foundation have always been directly identifiable, which is also the case with the skatedecks. Look out for a release in the coming weeks.

First presented by us during the last Bread & Butter tradeshow in Barcelona, we give you some more detailed information about the Element x Krabo fixed gear bike today.
The handmade bikes come with a lugged steel track frame and accented with wood wheels and the finest leather trims. The outcome is a true beauty. The 5 bikes will be auctioned off in the near future, with benefits going to the 1% for the planet organization. We will keep you posted. 
Have a look at some more detailed images after the jump.

 
Today it would seem that many brands are recognizing that leveraging their line with a bike (one off or not) is a good way to garner some attention. Take for instance Element Skateboards fixed gear offering. With a decal lined frame, and Brooks Leather bar tape and saddle, this bike is a good transitory piece for the sport of cycling which is drawing the attention of many skate enthusiasts.

Element Skateboards has gotten together with Vestalife to produce a limited edition version of the Ladybug. This is an ipod dock aimed toward solid acoustics and aesthetics. Additionally, Element has brought in a number of artists, including Craig Metzger, Don Pendleton and Mike Ledger, to produce one offs that can be bid on via ebay. Once again, an interesting merger of skate, art and sound.

Element Skateboards and “untitled” got together to work on a wooden 1GB memory stick. Each one of them is graced by two logos – “untitled” is represented through the “8″ – meaning infinity, and the Element logo is featured on the bottom of the stick.
The wooden memory stick is now available in the “untitled” online store and is limited to 24 pieces worldwide.
