Gold-Plated Skateboard

$15,000.00

Treat yo’self. The SHUT V3 Gold-Plated Skateboard—constructed from exactly 99.999% electro-plated gold—is designed to be fully functional. There’s a good chance that a boarder with a bit of expendable income to spare might actually take this gilded beauty for a ride. That said, for those who view designer Matthew Willet’s piece as more precious decoration than functional deck, the piece comes with archival cotton gloves.

Master Ultra Thin 41

$15,200.00

Walter Battiss Ceramics

$220.00

Greatly inspired by archaeology and rock art, the late South African artist Walter Battiss beautifully fused indigenous stone markings with abstract painterly concepts to become one of the country’s premier painters. Battiss was dubbed “the Bushman Painter” in the 1950s for making a home in southern Africa’s Namib Desert (an area almost completely uninhabited by humans), which provided a strong foundation for the 10 books he would write in his lifetime. Battiss’ art is now celebrated in a range of tableware by Mervyn Gers, a highly talented ceramicist who creates his own shapes, colors, glazes and decals. A percentage of profits from each sale are donated to the Walter Battiss Museum.

Martinique Sunglasses

$250.00

Bored with spotting the same styles across faces in NYC, Holland-born Alex van Klaveren and Washington native Zoe Nightingale took their mutual obsession with shades to launch The Monocle Order. Their limited edition, Martinique frames in fantastic blue on blue are handcrafted in Turkey using zyl acetate (a renewable resource) from Mazzucchelli—a company long known for its investment in plastics R&D. They use a technique which injects pigment into the plastic, meaning they’re that much more brilliant and will last that much longer.

200e System 7

$29,999.00

Donald Buchla is undeniably a pioneer of electronic music. A contemporary of Robert Moog, he built his first voltage-controlled synthesizer in the ’60s, which would provide nearly infinite possibilities of sounds to artists, and not limit them to musical notes in the equal temperament scale. Today, his modular systems are used by artists from Trent Reznick to Deadmau5 to create unpredictable sounds. The Buchla 200e series first launched in 2005, and System 7 is the one containing the full works, from six waveform generators to a duo phonic pitch class generator. The symphonies of the future lie within these modules.
