We re- & upcycle used sporting equipment into useful objects and works of art

SKIBROA (SKI & Bike Recycling in Objects & Arts) is a non-profit association advocating for the respect and protection of our environment, as well as the sharing of cultural and social values

1. SOURCING

Skis

We source equipment from local ski shops, sport enthusiasts, as well as from the communal dechetteries where old and broken sporting equipment such as skis and snowboards are sent – material that still has plenty of energy and life in it!

2. CONCEPTION

Design

Our collaborating partners (designers, architects, engineers, scientists, craftsmen-women and bricoleurs) design products from our ideas and/or their own inspiration, with an ambition to bring a second life to sporting equipment.

3. PRODUCTION

Workshop

As we do not yet have our own workshop, we work in our friendly ski shop’s space (thank you ‘Backside Verbier’!), as well as in other professional artisans’ workshops and private homes to prototype and produce our unique products.

4. RESULTS

Our slogan is “A Ski is to Ski till SKIBROA” – we then take all the liberty to create a whole range of products and works of art. We currently have a small range of products, however we continue to expand our product range and we hope YOU will contribute in helping us do so!

So that your skis don’t end up like this…

At SKIBROA most of us do not consider ourselves artists, but if anything we are Artists of Life.

We have started and will continue to collaborate with artists who want to give a second life to used sporting goods. We encourage them to let their imagination fly and subsequently produce all kinds of creations, which we will be showing you on here shortly.

We will assist both young and old, amateur and established artists in their quest with our know-how, connections and tools.

ECOLOGICAL

We believe that used sporting equipment deserves a second chance. This is why we salvage and create new products out of skis and other equipment that were doomed to be shredded and burnt – saving a considerable amount of material and energy!

Your sporting equipment deserves a better life and it is our main goal to re-use & up-cycle as much as possible.

CULTURAL

We extend the life-cycle of once highly industrial products into useful objects and works of art. From simple and rustic to designed and refined, we give them a special feel and unique touch, creating new value.

SOCIAL

We believe that creating new value has to benefit the entire chain of creation. This is why our products come with a price. By giving a home to our pieces, you will help us support a number of other environmentally and socially-driven associations and their projects, as well as remunerate our seasonal workers, pensioners, handymen, NGO’s and local businesses with the fair wages they deserve.

” I am myself and what is around me, and if I do not save it, it shall not save me “

José Ortega y Gasset

Mission, values and vision

Our mission is to give used sporting equipment a second, and even a third life by re-using all or parts of it and adding greater value to it. This is known as upcycling. We do this by transforming the industrial materials from sporting equipment into useful commodities, sophisticated objects and works of art. We work with every and any equipment from sports such as skiing, snowboarding, biking, alpinism, skating, surfing, soccer… and more!

Our work holds strong environmental, cultural and social values. This is why we use environmentally friendly materials and components whenever possible in our production, whilst acknowledging that at times we must be pragmatic.

We have an ever-growing team of collaborative creators that consist of designers, artisans, artists and architects, contributing to our goals and care for our environment.

In order to develop new creations and products, and undergo R&D, we are looking for a chance to connect with new collaborators; scientists, artists, small/big companies and … You!
