Umbra Designs World's First Indoor-Outdoor Bicycle
Meet CADENCE, a new multi-functional bicycle concept from Canadian home decor company Umbra that boldly addresses the challenges and priorities of urban citizens around the world, many of whom want to commute sustainably, but live in small spaces with limited storage space.
TORONTO, Oct. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Blurring the lines between interior decor, transportation, and recreation, CADENCE transforms to meet the needs of each day — it begins as a beautifully finished entryway bench and side table; then unfolds to become an elegant, emission-free ride to your destination, where it converts to comfortable outdoor seating; and upon arrival home, CADENCE easily stows securely away as attractive and functional furniture.
As a global company devoted to the pursuit and development of original design, Umbra empowers its designers to think big and put forward unexpected ideas:
"With CADENCE, I wanted to design something that we have never done before. We see many people moving to the city, living a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. Why design a bike? To me, it is eco-friendly and provides active lifestyle balance. But this is not just a bike; it is part of the home interior." — Sung wook Park, Senior Design Lead, Umbra
Umbra is committed to advancing values of sustainability through design that will have a direct impact on generations to come. CADENCE represents this commitment to design for the future, suggesting a new way to interact with furniture that transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces while addressing pressing social and environmental concerns.
