Custom / Skateable Art

At FLOW, we specialise in the design of skateable art — sculptural, rideable features that go beyond function to celebrate form, culture, and place. Led by co-director and designer Richard Smith, these pieces are crafted to inspire creativity and bring unique identity to skateable environments.

Skateable art blends sculptural form, cultural storytelling, and functional design to create unique wheeled-play experiences that celebrate place and imagination. These pieces have featured in a range of New Zealand projects, standing out as rideable landmarks that engage communities and elevate their environments.

Depending on the project, skateable art may be designed and fabricated in-house, or constructed in collaboration with contractors as part of a broader build. Each piece is tailored to the site and community — offering something more than a skate obstacle, something that belongs.
