Bicycles are brilliant, but best left outside. Until now. New designs from Quarterre mean the hallway now makes a better bikeshed than ever
We are always drawn to new and innovative storage solutions that address the living and breathing piles of just-had-to-haves that grow in our homes, and this is by far one of the most zen we have seen: London design studio, Quarterre, made up of four designers, Clive, Daniele, Jason and Nick, hailing from multi-disciplinary backgrounds, have come up with sleek and sculptural bike stands that will keep your bike (and you) neat and safe in your urban home environment.
During the London Design Festival in September, three of their
new designs entitled, Branchline, Shadow and Hood, will be unveiled
as part of their Furniture for Bikes range, designed to seamlessly
unite cycling and interior design. Made exclusively in the UK with
craftsmanship and detailing at the heart of the operation, the
pieces are made from steel, leather and bamboo with the utmost
attention to aesthetics, functionality and materials. So pop down
to the cult East London cyclists' hub, look mum no hands!,
and join us in celebrating the end of tripping over your bike
on your way to your morning coffee fix.
Look mum no hands! 49 Old Street, London, EC1V 9HX
