MoMA Design Store in New York presents the exclusive skateboard line created by Yayoi Kusama. The collection is characterized by Japanese artist’s iconic polka dot and they will be protagonists of the limited edition. MoMA had previously produced some products dedicated to other important artistic personalities such as Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Each skateboard has been designed in two versions: one yellow and black, the other red and white, on a base of precious maple wood. This is a trend that finds its buyers in the radical chic havens or collectors in search of the limited edition, where the common objects become cult pieces to be exhibited in the living room. Recently, the illustrated children’s book Yayoi Kusama: From Here to Infinity has also been on sale, which unfolds over 26 pages and tells the story of the artist from her childhood to adulthood. Skates will be on sale starting from October on the website of the museum shop, that you can find at this link.
