Etnies Creates a Skateboarding ... Hotel Room?

Friday November 13, 2009

Etnies Skateboarding Hotel Room CaliforniaEtnies has created a skateboarding hotel room. Seriously! In Laguna Beach, California in the famous Casa Del Camino Hotel. The room is designed to "tell the story of skateboarding roots through design".

Etnies also put a huge focus on "eco skate design" in the room. Here's a list of the room's features:

  • Shoe Scrap Headboard - a 6' x 11' mammoth mosaic consists of remnants of shoe material scraps that etnies uses in the research and design process as they create footwear
  • Reversed Shadow Box Wheel Mirror
  • Custom Desk and Shelves
  • Skate Free Mini Bar
  • The Pool Sink

Those are only a few of the design points. Check out more at Etnies.com. If you stay there, you also get four skateboards to use for the day, and an Etnies hat to keep. That might help ease the pain of the $200 a night it will cost to stay there...

So what do you think? Leave a comment below! I think it's a cool idea, but a bit much. If you have too much money though, and want to stay in a skateboarding-themed room on your trip to Laguna Beach ... well, this would be perfect, wouldn't it? I'm not sure how I feel about the marriage of skateboarding and the "eco-friendly" label ... not that I want to burn the Earth, though! What do you think of this room? Leave a comment!
