Air in the LongHill HQ bowl, with the container house and the forest behind

Brasília · since 2009

Born from skateboarding.
Made by hand.
One at a time.

A world of wood and movement, rooted in the balance between concrete and forest.

02Who we are

We have no definitions —
and we don't like them

We are a brand, a crew, a movement. And after that? Whatever life invites us to be. Free and shifting, moved by life, by the mistakes and by the things that worked.

No one steps in the same river twice: neither the river nor the person is the same.

03The HQ

The backyard where everything is made

It started in a bedroom, in 2009. Today it is a container house in the middle of the forest, with a workshop and a 400 m² bowl in the backyard.

Not a factory. Not a store. It is where wood becomes object, where the crew gathers and where the sessions run through the night.

04The craft

How wood that has rolled becomes something that lasts

A retired deck — pressed layers of ivory wood or maple, scarred by use — or a hardwood chosen for its grain. Designed, machined, sanded, assembled and finished one piece at a time.

Deck series — a deck opened on the router. How many pieces it yields is up to the deck

No production line — piece by piece

05What we make

In nature nothing is lost. Everything is transformed.

We give new life to what would be discarded. We recover the spirit of each piece of wood, of each deck, and return the material transformed, rematerialised, renewed. We do not interrupt the cycle — we are part of it.

06Manifesto

Wood is our medium. In our hands it becomes fun and motion. It becomes eyewear that faces the sun for us. A watch that keeps time our way. And at the end of the day, who knows — it becomes music.

The line was not a metaphor: a LongHill deck became a guitar, made on the same bench and by the same hands. We are free and shifting, moved by life, by the mistakes and by the things that worked. The next product? Life will choose.

Keep on move on — constant evolution, without end.
