[business:Kingswood Skis] from Lyttelton have been hand making skis with bamboo cores since 2005. Recently they had a topsheet design done by Klaus Kremer, a font that has seen itself get attention overseas and published.
Topsheet design: “Follow the path of least resistance”
Watch a pair of Kingswood Skis get made.
Remember this cardboard Robot?
We figured there could only be one company cool enough and creative enough in Lyttelton to construct such a masterpiece. I sent an email to Kingswood skis (of Lyttelton) and they replied:
“Hello Elliot
Yes, it’s ours – made by friend and neighbour artist Oscar Guerrero. Unfortunately, the big guy succumbed to the weather but we’ve got his head lit up in the factory and the little “mini me” survived and even featured in this month’s North & South.
Cheers Kris”
If you haven’t heard of Kingswood, they are hand making what some say are the worlds best ski’s. Using bamboo cores and sustainable ethos, skiing mags everywhere give rave reviews of this design led company.
Here is a pair of Kingswood beauties… maybe they should consider toy robots too.
