I know folks who have collected (and still collect) skateboard decks. Where as these objects take a bit more space than baseball cards and probably won’t be purchased quite as often as other forms of collectibles the collectors are proud of their collection and often do their best to top off the already impressive collection they have at hand. But every collection needs a crown jewel, a piece that is so rare you can be sure you’re the only one with the piece. And although sometimes a classic piece of wood has more than just emotional value, this piece probably tops most of the decks out there. A golden skateboard deck.

Greg Hervieux, the co-founder of BKRW teamed up with l’Atelier Antoine Palomares in production of a custom 22 karat gold leaf covered skateboard deck. The deck comes in a plexiglass box to protect the unit and if the 1490 euro price tag doesn’t scare you, you might want to act fast as only five pieces exist. Conspicuous consumption at its best…
