DINA, e-bike rack
Repower, 2021
Il progetto “DINA” include la rastrelliera per la sosta e la ricarica delle e-bike oltre a un elemento totem che segnala il presidio DINAclub, il nuovo circuito frutto della collaborazione tra Repower e Komoot – app di riferimento per la pianificazione e la navigazione di percorsi per lo sport outdoor. DINA è pensata per offrire un servizio ai ciclisti da parte di bar, ristoranti, e hotel in contesti urbani ed extraurbani differenti. Installabile in ambiente sia indoor che outdoor, si colloca all’interno di circuiti elettrificati che si integrano nel sistema delle ciclovie italiane.
The rack formally represents the iconic figure of the trestle, expressing through a few geometric elements the “leisure” spirit of this product without ignoring the need for intuitive use by the user. The choice of materials and the attention to detail communicate reliability, cleanliness and solidity, coherently with the nature of a service tool that must be integrated into architectural and environmental contexts of various kinds.
The design as a whole combines functional needs, low-cost production, guaranteed ease of maintenance and integration of a communication support for the managers of bars, restaurants and hotels. The playful spirit of this figure as well as the choice of finishes and colors is designed consistently with the brand.
The horizontal beam allows to anchor seven bikes by docking them through the saddle to the central stainless steel tubular element and to recharge four of them at the same time thanks to the four sockets with protective cover. All tubular elements are obtained from a custom aluminum extrusion die.
