The evolution of the skateboard's design is the subject of the new book Skateboard, by Jonathan Olivares and published by Phaidon. Tracking the look and form of the skateboard, the book covers the unique design history of an object that has changed in major and subtle ways over the past seven decades.
In Skateboard, Olivares applies a designer's keen eye to fluctuating board shapes, hardware forms, and wheel technology. Hundreds of scale photographs track the skateboard's development like biological specimens, showcasing its transformation over time.
