There was the Penny-Farthing, with its enormous front wheel. Now there’s the Pursuit bike with the tables turned. Designed for speed, Pursuit bikes have the rider leaning aggressively forward, making it ideal for…well…pursuit. The 36/28 Postale bike (I didn’t come up with the name) is an urban bike in a pursuit bike’s clothes. Named after the diameter of the wheels (36 inches/28 inches), this bike’s got a super-symmetrical frame and a super-sexy aesthetic. Designed to be assembled together, you’ll notice its simple build, making it more of a build-it-yourself project.

The rear wheel is designed with the ability to accommodate an electric motor of sorts (pursuit moped?) or even large transport bags. Designer Paolo De Giusti is currently working on these add-ons. I’m sure we’ll feature that too when it’s ready in all its glory!

The aesthetic of the clock is ostensibly hidden behind a beautifully molded piece of wood that is CNC machined.

Emphasizing material and process through form. The precise graphic form is machined using the latest in modern woodworking. Sculpted from solid hardwood, the cavity of the clock faces frames the beauty of wood grain by revealing the many years of growth. Hardwood takes decades to mature.  We are strong believers in preserving this natural resource and creating only meaningful objects that use the material responsibly. Offered in Hard White Maple, hand finished in wax to retain the light wood grain.
