I would like to tell you about the exhibition "FREE WHEEL". The exhibition is a designed bicycles from the collection of "Michael Embacher".
The bicycle exhibition presents about a hundred bicycles according to four cross-sections: time, content, technology, and of course, design.
The exhibition provides visitors with a close look at one of the world's most unique objects - the bicycle, a personal means of transportation that since its invention has symbolized equal freedom of movement for all. In the past two hundred years since bicycles became established in their present configuration, their structure and operation have remained virtually unchanged - two wheels, a solid frame, handlebars, saddle, and a propulsion system comprising a chain, chain wheels, and pedals. In terms of shape and structure, they are offshoots of the human body, and enable optimal human-powered propulsion. This unique combination leads the tour of the exhibition through the bicycles and cyclists.
In the exhibition you can see 43 iconic bicycles from the private collection of Michael Embacher, an Austrian collector who has collected some 275 unique bicycles over the past decade.
In the space of the design museum we can see expanded historical continuum where visitors are able to trace the development of bicycles, cycling trends, and cycling fashion from the end of the sixteenth century to the present day. The Design Lab will presents the future of bicycles, both from a technological perspective and a new look at the diverse range of future bicycle users.
It's amazing to see how a transportation object as bicycle developed over the years and how design features become a use of functionality and not just something that makes the object prettier.
you can see bellow some pictures that i took in the exhibition...
Don't forget to Design your world
