bendy bike

…his design looks like a normal bike when in riding mode, but a simple level on the frame triggers the frame to go from rigid to pliable. a ratchet system built into the frame enables the bike to simple be bent around a pole fitting one side of the handle bar into a closure under the seat, locking the bike in place…

interesting idea this one, the principle of making something rigid, flexible like this could probably be implemented in many more products and other appliances too…

work in progress

two projects that are currently underway in the studio: the ‘façade’ book which is going to be a lot of fun making, recycling all of the elements that we have made so far, yet again…

and a topsy-turvy book for photgrapher & friend ‘paul d. scott’ on young dutch gymnasts (the dutch word being ‘turners’) portrayed in their homes with two identical covers and a confusing upside down orientation that even got us baffled… more news soon
