for Independent Studio
Form-Y is a fully functional bicycle prototype made of wood that has gone on the win the INDUSTART International Design Award. This product was created by a team of student designers who were passionate about going beyond simple concept design and creating something different. Form-Y is a culmination of multiple design skills and product manufacturing. Using beautiful hand made elements made of wood combined with custom manufactured parts, Form-Y stands in stark contrast to every other bicycle on the market.
With engineering at its core, this concept is not only able to ride without any issues but also uses completely different geometry than a regular bicycle. This separates both the middle section and frame to bring attention to the hand shaping of the wood. This bicycle is not only a different product but it incorporates a hand made element into a sporty frame. It allows the rider to feel connected to the craftsman while still riding and feeling extremely fast on a smooth belt-driven system.
