Hello design lovers,

We are very excited to introduce you to Globe’s new series of skateboards based on iconic designs by Charles and Ray Eames.

United by over three decades of boardsports, street culture, design and film, GLOBE represents an international network of riders and designers. They now present their first collaboration with Eames Office.

Charles & Ray Eames are among the most influential American designers of the 20th century, best known for their innovative contributions to architecture, furniture design, industrial design, photographic arts, and perhaps most importantly, pioneers of the press we use today to make skateboards.

Sharing a similar appreciation for craftsmanship, details, and “taking your pleasure seriously”, Globe is proud to present the first offering in an on-going collaboration with the Eames Office.

Three new boards make up the Silhouette Series, which features a double-sided silk screen print on walnut veneer and reveals some of the most iconic Eames designs:

‘Hang-it-all’ depicts a cheerful object designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1953, “for children to hang all their belongings”;
‘Solar Do-Nothing Machine’ shows a kinetic sculpture designed in 1957 for a national aluminium forecast program;
‘Moulded Plywood Sculpture’ shows one of the Eames' innovative experiments with plywood from 1943;

To complement the skateboard series, they also launched a Blazer cruiserboard that can be enjoyed by both kids and adults.
