Burton will launch for the fall/winter 2011 the vapor snowboard Paul Smith.

As part of their winter sports collection this year Chanel have released another set of skis and a snowboard.

This years skis and snowboards have a wooden theme using plain laquered wooden top sheet with a central wooden core going back to the look of the original skis.

The snowboard and the skis are available from Chanel stores worldwide throughout the winter ski season.

Two leading Swiss and Austrian companies have collaborated with the University of Art and Design Lausanne to exhibit original and offbeat snowboards at the 2008 Milan Furniture Fair.

Students studying Industrial Design and Visual Communication were able to “customise” snowboards manufactured by Nidecker by graphically inlaying Swarovski crystals.

The snowboards are made available in varied patterns to match individual taste. No word on the price yet.

Fresh off the heals of top designers around the world voting the Citroen DS “The Most Beautiful Car of All Time”, the classic French automaker has released a dedicated line of lifestyle accessories.

The proposed DS collection will include among other products, belts, hand luggage, sunglasses even a trendy cell phone and a snowboard.
