"The bicycle as a canvas"   that was the theme of our "ready to paint" design contest that we started almost 2 years ago.

We had big plans to organise an exhibition hosted by Vitra with 20 invited artists that show off their custom painted OPEN bicycles and the making off a coffee table book that features those artists and their stories behind the bikes.



But we had to postpone the event twice due to Covid and then at the end, we had to give up as we did not want to wait any longer to show you the winner of that design contest.

We were totally thrilled by the amount of great designs that were handed in. At the end, the jury had to make a tough choice as there could only be one winner...



Have a look at the video with the winner Emilien Bouexel. The name of his design is "thrill"
