The exhibition on the cycling revolution has hosted up to 30 June 2016 at the London Design Museum, the leading institution in the field of worldwide Design.

The curators have addressed the many facets that are affecting the world of cycling in recent decades in Britain: the army of commuters who lately has invaded the streets of London to go to work every day, to the successes achieved in the recent Olympic Games to the latest innovations in technology, innovation and design that may be of interest to both professionals and amateur drivers of the future.

In the last decade in particular, we have witnessed an unpredictable explosion and a revolution in the habits of British citizens (especially London) with regard to urban transport; the bicycle has become one of the favorite means of transport especially by young people (but not only) to move from one end of the city, thus avoiding getting stuck in traffic, especially during rush hour and, at the same time , considerably reducing transport costs, which have become almost unaffordable for many (especially in London).

On show are several types of bikes on display, clothing for cyclists, accessories, equipment, films and photographs related to the theme of cycling that show how far it has come with design technologies and where you might get in a not too distant future. We can observe, in addition, some custom frames, designed by British entrepreneurs in addition to the reconstruction of a bicycle manufacturing laboratory built by artisans from all over the UK.

What's in the Exhibition?

Highlights of the bikes on display include:

Sir Bradley Wiggins’s 2015 Hour Record bike and 2014 World Championship Time Trial bike

The Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag paints landscapes and places in between a near past - the eighties consisting of old cars and vans Mercedes and a possible future made of architecture and objects that do not yet exist (but which already seem old and rusted by time).

The worlds that creates recall memories of childhood, the years lived in rural areas of Sweden and the films that were seen at the time. Old future architectures arise from the rural landscapes of the desolate and dismal Sweden, under the gaze disillusioned humans.

The series, consisting of several boards, is drawn with a graphics pen to the computer. The Digital Ink simulates an old oil painting, adding an even more bleak and unforgiving effect. All designs are published on its website, where prints of the works are for sale.

Tales from the Loop

Simon Stålenhag’s Tales from the Loop is a wildly successful crowd-funded project that takes viewers on a surprising sci-fi journey through various country and city landscapes―from small towns in Sweden and the deserts of Nevada to the bitter chill of Siberia―where children explore and engage with abandoned robots, vehicles, and machinery large and small, while dinosaurs and other creatures wander our roads and fields. Stålenhag’s paintings and stories take place in an alternate version of Sweden in the ’80s and ’90s, primarily in the countryside of Mälaröarna, a string of islands just west of Stockholm, and how this reality came about: the development of the Loop, a large particle accelerator and the side effects of the massive project. These incredibly captivating works and accompanying text capture perhaps a not-too-distant reality that is both haunting and imminent: addressing the many ways developing technology and nature can create havoc and wonder in our world―plus, its impact on the next generation. This is the English edition of the first book in Swedish that sold out in its initial printing. This Art Book is currently available on Amazon.

Simon Stålenhag is a Swedish illustrator and designer who tells an imaginary society in which robots, dinosaurs and humans coexist. Stålenhag seems to dig into a next memory, combining nostalgia and fantasy. His robots seem to have existed, the snow seems to have already melted in the sun.
