barcelona’s industrial design studio the emotion lab has designed ‘safe’, a bike rack that promises to be a more secure alternative in parking your bike. the form of ‘safe’ follows closely to that of one of the oldest symbols of security, the padlock. unlike many other bike racks, users can have confidence that ‘safe’ will not scratch their bikes. finally, in releasing these designs in public spaces, emotion lab hopes to encourage people to choose a more sustainable method of transport.
