This Gringo helmet by Biltwell makes me wish I still had a motorcycle. The minimal design doesn’t overdue it in anyway. It’s just a pure helmet design without all the fancy vents and shapes. It’s a classic design that will never get old, and you can get an awesome bubble shield for it. Reminds me of the awesome James Cann film, Rollerball.
Open is a bike company that develops high-end mountain bikes, who’s guiding principle is “Relentless Simplicity”. They stick to this is in every aspect of the company, from product line-up all to way to the industrial and graphic design of their frames. These have to be some of the most beautiful bikes I’ve ever seen. Not only are they made out of carbon, and weight almost nothing, they sport a streamlined frame design, and a very minimal graphics. Something that is almost never seen in the cycling community. Most brands slap their logos all over their bikes, but Open has shown great restraint, and it has paid off.
Beautiful.
Not sure if this is a real project, I hope so, but this soccer ball design by Maxim Bykov is excellent. Simple, and has traditional feel to it.
To celebration 90 years of BMW Motorrad along with 40 years of the iconic R90S design, BMW teamed up with Roland Sands Design to create the Concept 90. It’s a modern take on a classic motorcycle, and it’s extremely well done. It mixes a timeless cafe racer style, with modern technology to create the perfect motorcycle. I’m hoping that BMW produces it because I would get one right now.
Braun has announced that it will reissue the iconic ET66 Calculator. It will be based on the classic 1987 design by Dietrich Lubs and Dieter Rams, that inspired the iPhone calculator app. It will be available during the summer, and you can bet that we will be stocking it at Vetted. Stay tuned.
Vitsœ, famous for their 606 Universal Shelving System, now has a Tumblr that showcases their 50-year-old archive. A lot of amazing stuff here.
