Holland’s Moosach Bikes is pimping out vintage frames for the creation of a brand that fuses retro, recycling and modern bike technology. At a rate of only twelve bikes per year, Moosach is like reproduction for bicycles: each bike has its own genealogy, that of a refurbished road-style bike frame from the 70s, 80s or 90s reanimated with […]

The Dutch artist collaborated with the Belgium-based Toykyo for this limited edition furniture, called The Fly New Coffee Table. The Botero-like feet are common for […]
