The world is full of order that doesn’t necessarily deserve our respect. Sometimes there is meaning, justice, and logic present in the way things are — but sometimes there just isn’t. And I think the moment that we realize this is the moment we become creative people. Because it prompts us to mess things up and do something better with the basic pieces of experience.
Designer Kelli Anderson reflecting on her practice of ‘disruptive wonder’. Worth taking the time to watch her TEDxPhoenix talk below:
Meet Faraday, one of three beautifully designed bicycles that came into being as a result of the Oregon Manifest Creative Collaborations.
Fittingly as I’ve been investigating service design of late, this is an IDEO x Rock Lobster collab joint.
Pretty much ticks all my boxes, and while I probably wouldn’t opt for an electric bicycle personally, this thing is a work of design genius.
Read more about this fantastic design over at IDEO, check out the website of the team that built it here, and read some reviews of the bike here and here.
Make sure you check out the other two Creative Collaborations entrants too, Fuseproject x SyCip Design’s The Local and Ziba Design x Signal Cycles’ The Fremont, both gnarly bicycle too.
