ZENGA BROS' CREATIVE TRANSFORMING FURNITURE

Have you ever dreamed of having a skateboard ramp at home or in the office? Vancouver-based Zenga Bros has created a series of innovative furniture pieces that, with a simple push of a button or pull of a lever, transform into skateable ramps. Their Skate Break series caters to the urge to skateboard anytime, anywhere, bringing a unique and fun twist to indoor and outdoor spaces.

From Lamp to Rainbow Rail

The Zenga Bros' creative transformations include a lamp that becomes a rainbow rail, a boardroom table that turns into a pyramid ramp, and even a camper van that morphs into a multi-configuration ramp. The pieces are designed to accommodate different skateboarding tricks and add a playful element to everyday environments.

Existential Renewal through Skateboarding

According to the Zenga Bros, these dream builds are about more than just physical transformations. They offer a form of existential renewal, bringing a fresh and invigorating perspective to the workplace or home. The designers imagine these pieces as 'sculptural, skateable objects' that bring excitement and transform spaces into vibrant skate spots.

Collaborating with Andy Anderson

The Skate Break series was created in collaboration with world-renowned professional skateboarder Andy Anderson, who tested and showcased the unique pieces in an accompanying 20-minute film. Anderson, who represented Canada at the 2020 Olympics, described the experience as 'never having so much fun skating furniture.'

Innovative Mechanisms and Materials

The furniture pieces are carefully crafted and engineered with various materials such as fir, steel, and plywood. Some of the notable designs include a six-person boardroom table with a latch that opens the center for skating tricks and a standing desk that smoothly slides down a hidden track to become a ramp. The Lamp Ramp, with its arched stand and oversized lampshade, lowers to the floor creating a welcoming space for skateboarders.

A Unique Blend of Functionality and Play

Skate Break offers a delightful fusion of functionality and play, bringing together skateboarding and unexpected spaces. With their imaginative designs and collaborations, the Zenga Bros have created a captivating series that pushes the boundaries of everyday objects and invites a unique skateable experience.
