Art meets skate.

Having linked up with the Eames Office in 2021 to salvage the wood from a eucalyptus tree and turn it into a limited edition run of decks, Globe are once again teaming up with the legendary design hub for an art-meets-skate, function-meets-form release. This time, they’ve looked back at the work of Charles and Ray Eames for the inspiration behind three decks and a cruiser.

The Eames Silhouette Series consists of the Hang-it-all, Solar Do-Nothing Machine, and Molded Plywood Sculpture. The Hang-it-all features the playful 1953 design by Charles and Ray Eames of a wall hanging made simply for children to hang all their belongings, while the Solar Do-Nothing Machine shows a kinetic sculpture designed in 1957 for a national aluminium forecast program, and the Molded Plywood Sculpture reflects a ground-breaking 1943 piece created by the duo.

Globe will also be releasing a colourful cruiser deck, based on the Eames’ 1951 piece, ‘The Toy’, which features colourful triangles and is a nod to a Charles Eames quote: “Toys are not really as innocent as they look. Toys and games are the prelude to serious ideas.”
