Gentemstick Snowboards

Gentemstick Boards

Selectism puts us onto Gentemstick Snowboards. “Japanese designer and inveterate snowboarder Taro Tamai has been hand-shaping his eye-catching Gentemstick boards for over a decade. An answer to the homogenization of board shapes that happened as snowboarding gained mainstream appeal, Tamai’s goal is no less than to “perfectly blend into the terrain miraculously made of snow and wind, just as if birds flying in the sky or fish flowing in the stream.” The upshot of his philosophical approach to the sport (he calls it snow-surfing) is a line of boards renowned for their flexible fins, oversized sized fish tails and rideability in almost any snow condition.”

Robert Geller x Common Projects Autumn/Winter 2010 Lookbook

Robert Geller x Common Projects Fall 2010 Lookbook

While we’ve given you a look at the boot collaboration between shoe brand Common Projects and designer Robert Geller before, what many people don’t realize is that the initiative consisted of more than just footwear.

“The idea was a cross-collaboration, where the Robert Geller crew designed leather goods; boots, a bag and belt, and Common Projects designed the clothes. Each brand would then produce the pieces the other brand designed. The result is the perfect outfit to take on a trip: A hat, trenchcoach, button up shirt, slim pant, razor thin belt, leather boots with removable spat and a suede weekend bag.”

Product aside, the book itself, shot and designed by Peter Poopat (1/2 of Common Projects), is a work of beauty all on it’s own.
