The conceptual VAEN Bike Saddle has been designed by Vasi Gandhi as a supportive, futuristic take on the bicycle component that incorporates some of the latest technological processes. The seat is achieved with an organic lattice foam structure that has been 3D-printed and works to provide impressive cushioning against bumps in the road. This is paired with a cover on the top to add in further durability against daily use.
The conceptual VAEN Bike Saddle focuses on rethinking the design of the essential bicycle component, which incorporates a balanced aesthetic that is both comfortable and chic. The seat would be relatively simple to generate and print, and calls to mind the aesthetic of futuristic footwear designs that focus on malleable support.
