This Beautiful Design Turns Bike Seats Into Wall-Mounted Storage
Ady Floyd — May 21, 2015 — Art & Design
Mikli Furniture has creatively turned old bikes into beautiful bicycle seat shelving for homes and offices. By mounting bikes onto walls and replacing the seat with a shelving unit, the old bikes have become a very interesting storage unit.
The bike is placed onto a wall and the seat is replaced with an open drawer-like shelf that has a full rectangular shape. There is no front casing or door, which makes tossing keys, wallets and small objects easy and very accessible.
This beautiful bicycle seat shelving unit will add a creative accent to any room. The obvious shape is a wonderful conversation starter and will be on display at the bike exhibition at the Up-Artsh Museum in Shanghai at the end of May. Each unit is handmade in Berlin by Mikili.
