Tony Stanzione – artist, GC, master fixer – assembled this re-make of the classic sled (origins Dutch ‘slee’ or slide) from some of the finest materials – tropical wood scraps, second hand Atomic skis and spare shop materials. Sleds were used as far back as ancient Egypt to haul material, but early models are found on excavated Viking Ships. Winter wonderlands are fewer these days, but the beauty is a stand out among a crowd of plastic toboggans, and will hope to be hitting the slopes (of Prospect Park) some day soon.
