How to reinterpret the most iconic object of street culture using Italian craftsmanship? Based on the idea of functional art, (skate)board is an aesthetic exercise which aims to give a new feature to an object diverted from its primary function.

By removing its wheels and replacing its flimsy board with the firm ever lasting nature of marble, this urban mobility icon is deprived of its key elements; speed and lightness.

(skate)board creates a paradox: a fluid shape made for motion, turned static and statutory by the designer’s intervention.

While the world is constantly in a state of motion, people rushing from one thing to the next forgetting to live in the moment, Scalabrini takes this symbol to question our relationship to ephemeral, that he projected in a state of frozen and turned into a sculptural piece of art. Here the skateboard is no longer used to ride, but an artwork intended for observation.
