This bespoke clear skateboard is made with resin that has been reinforced so that it is robust enough to be ridden. The deck is decorated with natural materials – such as flowers and insects – which have been foraged throughout the year. The flowers look as though they could keep on drifting through the piece and float away to their next destination. Everything from the mould to the polish is done by hand.
