Toy car made from reclaimed skateboards by Skateriors, turning layered deck wood into a playful, rolling design object.
This toy car began as a skateboard deck. After years of use, the board was discarded. Skateriors collected and cut it into smaller forms instead of being discarded.
The layered maple construction of the deck becomes the highlight here. The coloured layers, originally pressed together to handle tricks and impact, now shape the body of a small car. The stripes run through the wood, making each piece look slightly different from the next.
It’s simple in form. Four wheels, compact body, easy to hold. It can roll across the floor just as well as it can sit on a shelf. For kids, it’s a toy. For adults, it’s a small reminder that materials can move from one world into another without losing their character.
Each car carries a different combination of colours depending on the skateboards used.

Because every toy car is cut from reclaimed skateboards collected at indoor skateparks, the colour patterns vary per piece. The shape stays the same, the look never repeats.
