An amazing wooden bike completely hand-crafted is created by Yojiro
Oshima. The young artist studies Crafts and Industrial Design at the Musashino Art University
of Tokyo. He aimed in an exploration of an everyday object and in its
redesign with quite unexpected materials...
This project was the subject
of his final thesis and is named “Fusion”. He sculpted each piece out of
hard maple wood and he even hollowed them out in order to lighten the
bike’s weight. Even the wheels, also made of wood, feature an arc
between the spokes and the rim to reduce large impacts and to soften the
ride. He also designed curves that create a really beautiful and
elegant look. via_http://en.ozonweb.com/design/a-hand-crafted-wooden-bicycle-created-by-yojiro-oshima
