'Bolid' Skateboard by Zieta, Collectible Object

About the Item

BOLID Skateboard in polished stainless steel by Zieta This piece is a collectible object designed by Zieta Studio. This is a unique mirrored object and a sculpture: a decorative version of the streamlined longboard’s form, an alternative “mean of transport” in the contemporary urban landscape that will fit a modern interior: whether a minimalist apartment or an extravagant loft. It will take you straight to the border between art and design. The FiDU BOLID board is an aesthetic object, an artistic variation of the shape known widely by skaters. Its functional form serves as a point of departure for a purely decorative objective - hang it on or lean it by the wall and discover the reflective power of polished steel. The minimalistic and pure form makes it a perfect fit for the home of a skating fan or for any modern elegant ambience.
