BURTON X JEFF KOONS “THE PHILOSOPHER” SNOWBOARD
Snowboard brands frequently partner with artists to develop custom graphics, but rarely are the artists of the level of Jeff Koons. Koons, who is known for works like his large-scale balloon dogs made out of steel, took up snowboarding a few years ago and connected with Burton Snowboard’s founder Jake Burton Carpenter. The two worked together on this board, which features an image of the philosopher Plato. Only 50 boards were created, and proceeds benefit the Chill Foundation which uses snowboarding to help disadvantaged children recognize their potential.$5,000
