Crafted from salvaged recycled rimu, this board was designed and made by The Paper Rain Project in Marlborough, New Zealand.
This board is a wall-hanging artwork and comes equipped with a fitting suitable for a standard picture hook or nail.
Native rimu was once milled to build houses and furniture all over New Zealand. Rimu is now salvaged from house demolitions nation-wide to create a new product from a material already rich
in NZ history.
For each recycled rimu board sold, a native tree is planted it’s it’s place. Thank you for helping to regenerate native forests in New Zealand.
Since their inception, skateboards have always been a canvas for creativity and expression. Paper Rain art boards are just for wall hanging and we believe that their retro skateboard shape helps to create a unique, accessible art form for the home. We also absolutely love working with timber, a natural material that has a whole story and life of its own.
Every one of our boards is crafted by Paper Rain co-founder, Wills, here in Marlborough. Made solely from timber with a plant-based finish, our series of artworks is laser etched into the wood. Like our t-shirts, our boards sport a range of artworks by Kiwi artists. For each board sold, a native tree is planted here in Marlborough by Trees That Count.
The artist:
Indigo Greenlaw, our co-founder, wears a few hats here at Paper Rain.
As our communications gal, she is a bit of people person (with enough caffeine in her system.) A lover of ‘the wild’, Indigo is enthused by fresh air, inspired by the bush, the ocean and the spaces and people around her. A graphic designer by trade, Indigo’s real passion lies in illustration. More recently, she has rolled up her sleeves to experiment with wood block etching, a process she loves. Surfer, hiker, wine and coffee consumer, she keeps as busy as possible.
Stoked on sustainability (and tiny houses!) you will see that all of Indigo’s artworks are part of our Cause Series - helping to raise money and awareness for the plight of native birds and ocean health.
