Biquattro: Electric Bike with Loading Surface, Valentin Vodev
Aluminium, plastic, rubber and fabric
Exploring new ideas and converting them into products is an adventure in itself. It is a delicate intertwining of long processes of analysing, defining and understanding systems from which products emerge, so that the product does not stand on its own without reflecting and interacting with the surrounding environment. The key to successful design is to understand the system beyond the product. I think that the function that a user gains from the product also defines the design language of the product.
