In celebration of Dutch Design Week 2016, our Shaping Dutch Design series has taken a closer look at a few of the dozens of Dutch designers who are part of the Shapeways EXPO this year and, of course, our global maker community all year round. If you missed us in person in Eindhoven this week, check out all the Dutch Design Week fun here, on Instagram, Twitter, and on Facebook for live updates from #DDW16.
How to combine a passion for biking and music with inspired design? Avid cyclist and designer Robin de Pruyssenaere of Concept R did just that with a collection of accessories that harness 3D printing to turn his favorite pastimes into wearable art.
For bike fanatics, every element of the machine itself can be beautiful. Concept R’s Bike Racing Steer Cufflinks, WE Cycling Pendant, and Tie Clip Bike take bicycle parts into the world of elegant accessories.
Of course, biking and music often go hand in hand, and headphones are also a favorite motif for the designer, in the form of Headset Cufflinks and the Headphone Ring.
Robin’s pieces were on display this week at Shapeways EXPO at Dutch Design Week, and if you missed us in Eindhoven, you can still visit his Shapeways shop any time for well-designed accessories for the bike- and music-lovers in your life.
