The conceptual 'Voronoi' bike helmet is an expertly designed piece of protective headgear for cyclists who are looking for a comfortable yet safe way to stay ready for the road when heading out on a ride. The helmet was created using parametric modeling software and is intended to minimize the amount of material required to achieve the traditionally solid safety accessory. Under the flexible mesh is a hard hat component crafted from carbon fiber that works to provide additional rigidity during daily wear.
The conceptual 'Voronoi' bike helmet is the design work of Zhecheng Xu and Yuefeng Zhou, and is the winner of the 2020 A’ Design Award. The mesh design of the helmet also works to prevent overheating to keep riders comfortable and cool at all times during their commute.
