Brothers Adrian and Martinus Pool and collaborator Anne Tranholm have crafted the Stackton credenza with layers. One the one hand, the handsome storage unit is an homage to classic mid-century furnituremaking, with its nimble legs and dark sapele wood body. But it’s also a piece that nods to their glory days at the skate park—the tambour doors are crafted from recycled skateboard veneers.

The skateboard composite is a signature material for the design studio, which uses it to craft everything from bowls to coffee tables, but the Stackton credenza is AdrianMartinus’s bestselling piece. It’s easy to see why: elegant, colourful and highly practical, it’s a design that kickflips past the rest.
