AdrianMartinus, a Calgary workshop that crafts home decor and jewelry out of recycled skateboards, has won a global design award. Adrian Pool, Martinus Pool, and Anne Tranholm won the $15,000 US grand prize at the second annual Etsy Design Awards for their upcycled credenza. The winners were selected by two judges: actress Drew Barrymore and Etsy's trend expert Dayna Isom Johnson. "This piece is so beautiful and at first glance, you would never know that it's actually made out of recycled skateboards — how cool is that?" Adrian and Martinus Pool, along with Adrian’s partner Anne Tranholm.
