Rosie Lee is a London-based creative agency. We work for a number of clients but also carry out a range of self-initiated projects. These projects can begin as a simple idea, a discussion or a simple ‘what if..?’
Deck Chair is one of these projects, where we wanted to explore the results of combining furniture with skate. The initial idea was borne out of a comparison between the ergonomic curves of a board and the curves of designer furniture… but once we started developing concepts, we realised that we could do so much more, crossing over into the broader aspects of skate culture, including photography and art.
This blog will record our ongoing adventures with Deck Chair, the first phase of which is our design for the chair. These renders and drawings demonstrate our initial consideration of skateboards as furniture.

The logo for our Deck Chair project has been constructed from a King Pin Bolt, cut in half and repositioned to form the initials DC.

The Build.
8 Decks, 74 Bolts, 8 Bushings, 4 Cup Bushing Washers, 136 Washers… Phase two of our Deck Chair project is now complete and we have a fully constructed prototype.

Artist Collaboration.
To introduce is to present and establish an acquaintance. To collaborate is to work with one another in a project.

For the second phase of Deck Chair, we’re pleased to announce the introduction of our collaboration with five artists over the coming weeks.

The concept of collaborating will further explore the reoccurring question of ‘what if?’ and will look to further sway the boundaries between skate, design, art and furniture.
