Skystation

Skystation is an interactive sculpture that also provides some public seating. The contours of the work are designed to fit the reclining human form and encourage contemplation of the sky. The seating it provides is similar to what NASA calls Neutral Body Posture, which is the shape the body returns to when free from the influence of gravity. Skystation creates an opportunity for pause, reflection and interaction within the public realm. It is inspired by the modernist idea of form follows function. It has the incidental effect of making conversations between strangers almost inevitable.

Fujita Urban

Fujita Urban is an electric bicycle designed for daily rides in the city. The frame is made of aluminium 6061, which keeps the bicycle light and easy to handle in traffic. A lithium battery is fully integrated inside the central tube, so the bicycle looks like a traditional model and the battery is better protected against theft. Pedal assistance supports the rider, while a belt drive replaces the usual chain to reduce maintenance and noise. Large wheels and a linear frame complete the form. Charging takes a few hours.
