Bicycles are objects designed to move, to travel through the city. For Omri Piko Kahan, an industrial designer and passionate cyclist, these objects do not stop living when they stop being ridden, but instead find a second form, entering the domestic space.

His project stems from the meeting of two passions: design and bicycles. Starting from reclaimed frames, Omri Piko Kahan creates unique handmade furniture pieces, transforming structures originally conceived for movement into seats, tables, and sculptural objects. The geometry of the tubes, the curves, and the original welds become design elements, keeping the memory of the original object visible.

Each piece is one of a kind, built through a handcrafted process that leaves room for unpredictability and experimentation. The frames are selected, cut, and recomposed into new configurations, where balance and functionality meet an essential, industrial aesthetic. The result is a series of objects that preserve the identity of the bicycle while taking on a new presence, quieter and more permanent.

Omri Piko Kahan’s work moves between sustainability and design, without turning reuse into a simple statement. Discarded bicycles become design material, while each object preserves traces of its previous life, transforming furniture into a story shaped by movement, the city, and time.

In this way, bicycles are no longer just means of transport, but become furnishing elements capable of bringing a new form of design into the domestic space, where function, memory, and craftsmanship coexist in balance.
