Innovation, art, performance.

Making shapes since 1997 and founded by Hayden Cox, Haydenshapes brand DNA at its core connects to the fundamental product in which the industry and lifestyle of surfing exist, the surfboard. Known for a contemporary and high-end approach to hardware and construction, the Haydenshapes brand is synonymous for multi-faceted design led collaboration. Inspired by but not limited to surf, this has included large scale cast resin architecture, resin furniture design and fabrication along with high profile projects with Alexander Wang, Artist Daniel Arsham, Dion Lee, luxury swiss watch house IWC Schaffhausen and Space Furniture.
