The resulting mix of raw finishes and immaculate detailing is strangely compelling. Check out the website for the full list of their builds.

Lo-Ruiter is a modern twist on the traditional skateboard that creates the illusion of floating. The cutout shapes are a result of the low deck and wheel clearance, the holes allow you to break when you put your foot over them, and the generous size of the top allows for multi...

SANDWICHBIKE | FLAT PACKED WOODEN BICYCLE

We have featured some cool and innovative bicycles over the last couple of years, but nothing as original as this.
