Daniel Arsham joins forces with STAMPD designer Chris Stamp on a new limited collection named 'Wave Relic.' This is joining the surfboard brand Haydenshapes. The three-way collaboration results in a set of apparel and surfboards. The exclusive set nods to themes of the ocean and technical construction.

The capsule is made up of [surf gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yusuke-hanai-2), hoodies, jackets, surfboards, tees, sweatpants, and caps that come in black and white. The graphics that detail the designs are the [crystalized erosion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eroded-coin) that is true to Arsham's work. One of the most notable pieces in the capsule is the white sculptural surfboard designed by Haydenshapes and Arsham. It has a three-dimensional erosion done with quartz and selenite detailed visuals.
