Value
We were looking to design a product in contact with people and the environment that would adapt perfectly to the space it was designed for. In its interior, inspired by the Llatinas sails of the Valencian Albufera, a design has been created that optimizes the use of the material and improves the attachment and fastening of the bicycle.
It can fit all different wheel sizes thanks to its V-shape. Its side view features a large hole that is integrated into the shape, allowing for the use of safety locks.
People
The Latina bike racks makes life easier for those that use a bicycle as a mean of transport in Japanese cities. Its design and it’s commercial success have turnes it into an iconic product in the world of design.
As a result of this, in 2019, it was included in the “Valencian Design (2009 – 2019) Products for a global world” exhibition organized by the Valencian Modern Art Institute (IVAM), together with other eight Alegre Design’s pieces, as examples of innovation and the value that they bring to the international market.
