Frog design, founded by Hartmut Esslinger in 1969, approached the design of ordinary objects in a radical way, rejecting functionalism and adhering to the principle that "form follows emotion." These frollerskates, created a hundred years after roller skating became a popular pastime, have been technically and conceptually rethought. Lightweight polyurethane is used for the shell, allowing the wheels to be integrated into their exuberantly modern design.
Would need some restoration / repairs if desired. Could display as is.
