This is an instrument of infinite possibilities… with an S.A. alternative tuning."

Geoff McFetridge
Monster (Nieves) Dice

Monster Dice combines e15's typical European oak heartwood with the artwork by Geoff McFetridge using laser etching. McFetridge's drawing is an extract from the story of a boy who draws monsters that come to life and begin to draw themselves, created by the artist and his four year old daughter. Each of the six sides link interchangeably with one another, offering a multitude of interpretations of the story.

The shape and dimensions of Monster Dice come from the solid oak heartwood legs of the famous e15 stool -Backenzahn, understanding and dealing with the irretrievable problem of production waste disposal from a precious material like wood, a theme very close to McFetridge's own thinking. The manufacturing process preserves the distinctiveness of the wood with its individual grain, knotholes and cracks.

- Laser Etched Solid European Oak Heartwood
- 13.5 x 13.5 x 13.5 cm
- Edition of 200, 2007

Solitary Arts
Golden Age Shirt by Geoff McFetridge

Check the sweet handdrawn font treatment that says, "The Last Days Of The Golden Age Of The Handmade" on the back of this. So-Me, Geoff McFetridge, Kevin Lyons and Parra, have always been promoting hand drawn skills over designer fonts. The flavor it gives is just irreplacable. Note: The sheet for this shirt says black, but Shota keeps writing in navy blue. After examination, I believe it's neither, but subtly in between. In any case, it's pretty much black, so don't throw a fit if you see a hint of blue 'cause that's just being anal. Standard Fit.

Solitary Arts
Traveler Skateboard - Complete

Behold the Traveler Complete Deck from Solitary Arts. They outdid themselves with this one, one-upping their own levels of craftmenship and design. As the story goes, they found a bunch of deadstock solid wood decks (25-30 years old) and envisioned the potential for a beautifully stylish deck for the times. They hand routed each one of these, which involves a difficult process of using different router bits, to fit the Solitary Arts Moon graphic set in the middle. The wheels on this are Black Eggs, and were especially made for this deck in mind for the smoothest ride possible. Limited to only 50 completes, we were lucky enough to get a couple. A true tastemakers choice. (If you were wondering - yes, these have been tre-flipped).

Dimensions

Length: 22.875"
Width: 5.5"
Wheel-Base: 10.75"
Tail: 3.75"
Nose: 2.625"
