If you can’t resist unique and quirky furniture pieces, you have to check out the amazing creations of AdrianMartinus Design. This tiny studio is giving a new life to hardwood flooring and broken skateboards by transforming them into amazing low-waste furniture.
When starting their design studio in 2012, brothers Adrian and Martinus Pool had one main goal in mind—give new life to all the construction material waste they encountered on worksites that left them frustrated and concerned for the environment.
Their journey started at their parent’s garage, where they mostly worked with broken skateboards they received as a donation from local skate shops. As their business grew, the Pool brothers started using new materials and upgraded their tools and machinery, but they’re still fully committed to carefully repurposing wood in an attempt to craft unique products with little waste.
Their products are available on their official website and Etsy store, where they were selected as the grand prize winner of this year’s Etsy Design Awards. They mostly specialize in making furniture, including tables, benches, and credenzas, but they also produce a wide range of smaller decorative pieces, often in collaboration with Danish artist Anne Tranholm.
