Spring summer 2023 #2

Urskog x Knowledge

United by the respect for genuine craftsmanship and for Mother Nature

They call us tree huggers. Driven by the ambition to put environmental considerations first in every decision and every action. We see a growing crowd thinking like us out there. More and more “tree huggers” are coming forward, choosing not to follow the flow. It’s a big support to us, because we believe in collaboration as a way to learn new things and strengthen our message.

In line with this attitude, we are happy to present a new collab with the fine Swedish skateboard brand Urskog. A proud collab that we call ‘Tree Hugger’ – united by our respect for genuine craftsmanship and for Mother Nature.

Urskog x Knowledge. Tree huggers by heart.

Tree huggers by heart.

Driven by the ambition to put environmental considerations and social responsibility first in every decision and every action.

Meet Christoffer, founder at Urskog

“When my buddies went to Brazil to surf and I saw the pictures they sent me, I wanted to surf too. I decided to build my own longboard, and surf the asphalt here at home”, says Christoffer Stivén, founder of the Swedish skateboard brand Urskog.
Already from the start the idea was to build handmade wooden boards, all of which are unique and numbered. At the beginning, few people understood how genuine the boards really were. But little by little the skate community began to appreciate the pure wood material and the clean Scandinavian design.
Now, 15 years have passed since the start and the company has produced more than 15,000 boards. The brand is recognized today but still has the exact same value base as when they started.

Together with the Swedish brand Urskog, we have developed a numbered series of Knowledge-branded skateboards made of birch from Nordic forests with surface veneers in organic woods. Both cruisers and longboards, featuring a natural grip tape of cork material.

The value of true craftsmanship

The collaboration between Urskog and KnowledgeCotton Apparel was a natural fit. Both companies have chosen to follow their own path from the start and do what they believe in – without compromise. The collab can best be described as two brands united by the respect for genuine craftsmanship and for Mother Nature.
Together, Urskog x Knowledge have developed a collection of handmade longboards and skateboards, and for Spring Summer 2023 they will launch a joint clothing collection under the name ‘Tree Hugger’. “This collab is not a selling point,” says Christoffer. “It is rather a natural consequence of the fact that we are firmly grounded in the same values and think it is fun to do great things together.”
