“The desire to venture into the creation of something that could be a direct part of your life was the first ingredient added to the formula that created this new concept.
To achieve the diversities between being relaxed observing harmonious forms and being the essence that moves the muscles and drives your instinct of freedom!
A tenuous line between the having and being able to: to have a favorite object of decoration and to able to make it your road’s companion.
The desire to lay on the couch just looking, or getting up from it, leave home and still being able to take us with you.”
The desire to venture into the creation of something that could be a direct part of your life was the first ingredient added to the formula that created this new concept.
“I have bike's hoarding as a hobby and the love from working with wood. So I had decided to bring together these two facts that are part of my life and then create this piece. When I started the development of the part, I had in mind the impact that it would cause in the lives of our customers. What provided the idea of making the bike and made it become a project was the possibility to be able to get into our costumer's life, even outdoors.”
To achieve the diversities between being relaxed observing harmonious forms and being the essence that moves the muscles and drives your instincts of freedom!

Also used in manufacturing for external areas furniture. The Teak Asian is a lightweight, durable and stable wood.
In the making, we use the bonding process to compensate the wood fibers, in order to give a better resistance to the parts. Fittings and joints were sized and located in strategic positions in order to get stubbornly stuck with structural adhesive.
To ensure the durability of the wood, a waterproof insulator is applied to protect it from any moisture. A resin (a product used on yachts furniture) is applied to the polyester to conclude the finishing, and a high-gloss varnish, giving the wood a deep and wet sheen.
The aluminum pieces: fork, handlebar table, hoops, crown, rest and levers are painted with an Italian ink color effect, and it can be customized in up to 9 colors according to our finishing palette (p. 21).
