Gotta get me one of these.

On the surface, legendary boardsports brand Globe and iconic modernist building-turned-museum Eames House don’t have much in common. Carve a little deeper and you’ll realise that the landmark Californian building and Globe share a link through a humble Australian tree variety.

As we know, Globe was started in Australia and later exported to the US when they arrived as an international leader in skateboarding. And the Eames House is surrounded by fellow native Australian exports, the eucalyptus, which were first brought over in the Californian Gold Rush and later propagated throughout the greater Los Angeles area in the late 1800’s.

With tree #236, affectionately known as Molly, about to be felled due to damage it is causing to the structure, the two icons have linked up to repurpose and recycle the wood, turning Molly into 100 skateboard decks.

Speaking about the project, Eames Office Director, Eames Demetrios, has said: “We had just started our partnership with Globe, the Australian skateboard brand. After much research, we’d chosen them as a partner because of their shared appreciation of quality and craftsmanship – and it sure didn’t hurt that they’re also clear industry leaders. This deck of treasured wood seemed like the perfect place to start, and ended up a passion project for both Eames Office and Globe.”

The decks will be released for the 80 Years of Design exhibition in November in Shinjuku, Japan… Peep these beautiful pieces of craftmanship below and head here for everything Globe:
