Bicycle Taxidermy: Remember the good old days, when your precious bike wasn’t bent in half by a flung open car door? Sure the wounds hurt, but losing your two-wheeled partner in crime is what really stung the most, right? (Except for the broken tibia, that was bad.) Thanks to Bicycle Taxidermy, you can remember your old friend every time you walk into your den. Bicycle Taxidermy is a plaque and wall mount for your old ride’s handlebars. If you don’t have a broken down bike, you can also purchase a plaque with some other bike front already attached, though that story is a bit less interesting. We recommend using your own, so go out there and shoot your bike. Buy here.

365 KNITTING CLOCK (wall clock)
365 is stitching the time as it passes by. It is knitting 24 hours a day and one year at the time, showing the physical representation of time as a creative and tangible force. After 365 days the clock has turned the passed year into a 2-m long scarf. Now the past can be carried out in the future and the upcoming year is hiding in a new spool of thread, still unknitted.

German furniture company Thonet and London architect Andy Martin have collaborated to create a track bicycle made from beech wood. Whilst being an incredible piece of design, the £43,000 price tag might be a little steep for a bike that doesn’t even have brakes.
