Handbuilt

Bike Friday has been hand-building custom folding bikes and ebikes since being founded in 1992. Now with some 40,000 bikes shipped, the company has officially announced a new ultralight ebike model called the All Day.

​Last year we had a brief look at some of the wonderful handcrafted arcade tributes of Love Hultén. The retro-modern designer says his latest build, called OriginX, is a design nod to a Pong arcade cabinet, the insanely popular table tennis game from Atari that helped kickstart video gaming.​

​Sweden's Love Hultén is probably best known for his wonderfully retro gaming creations, but for his one-off PET De Lux project, the designer and craftsman has paid tribute to a grand-daddy of home computing, the Commodore PET 2001 all-in-one personal computer released in 1977.​

​Every year at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show, there seems to be one bike that particularly attracts the photo-takers and question-askers. At this year's show, held in Hartford, Connecticut, that bike would probably be Helio Ascari's exquisite King Plus.

There's something almost magical about the boxy look of synthesized tone creators of yesteryear. Sweden's Love Hulten has drawn on iconic designs from 40 years ago to create the Voxarray 61, a modern sonic laboratory encased in vintage-looking real wood gorgeousness.
