From Curated – “Apparently interest in skateboards made of fragile materials is still high. Charles Krafft sells his – made of porcelain – for $2,500. The pieces are hand painted and made to order by the artist.”

Red Bull is known for their innovative ideas and approaches when it comes to their marketing. Their latest initiative is the above Canvas 3D Skate video, featuring Joey Brezinski. Via Radcollector.

We present an interesting series of ceramic skate decks by Apparatu.

“Theory meets practice in Apparatu’s “FTC” collection. In collaboration with Spanish designer Alex Trochut, Apparatu (artist Xavier Manosa Ciria) arrests motion with a series of ceramic skate decks representing various stakes of destruction. Some pieces hit directly on reality, the decks simply broken, others are more abstract in their disintegration. The complete series happily mixes colors and shape to produce a winning whole.”

A complete look at the series follows here.

In the early 90’s a dozen companies, armed with very little money, a lot of hard work and a refusal to fail, rose from the ashes of the recession to become the established brands you know today. Now, in the greatest economic hardship our planet has seen since The Great Depression, it seems history is repeating itself. Trajectory can be described as the curve or path of a projectile moving through air or space. When starting a brand one can only hope that that trajectory is up. This new section on The Berrics has as its sole purpose to introduce to you people who had the courage to throw caution in the wind and not be afraid to have it blow back and hit them square in the teeth. There’s no one better I could think of to start this new series out than Keith Hufnagel and his brand HUF. Enjoy. — sb
