Was it Chanel who set off the spark? Beyonce? Whatever the case, interior and fashion designers have certainly been caught by the surfboard wave. We’re in love with the idea of getting surfboards out of the beach and into our apartment, especially when they’re made with these gorgeous materials and solid designs.
