Lerni

Balance Training Bicycle for Kids

Lerni is a small bycicle for children between 2 and 6 years old.

In 2015, Provinilo, a group member of the Mexican National Chemical Industry Association, promoted the sustainable development and competitiveness of the plastics industry.

“Imagine PVC” is a yearly contest, where they reward the creative talent of industrial design and architecture students.

The goal of this competition is to promote the use of PVC Plastic to develop innovative and sustainable products among the students of Industrial Design and Architecture.

This award is sponsored by companies in the Mexican plastics market to create a productive link between the companies and industrial design or architecture schools. I got an Honorific Mention with Lerni.

Sketching

Research

For this project, I did an analogous analysis of the bicycles that are on the market. Most of the bikes were quite impractical, heavy and therefore dangerous in case the child falls. For the bionic analysis, I decided to lean the design on the structure of sponges. Sponges are very resistant, but light at the same time, characteristics that I wanted to integrate to my design.

For this project, I did an analogous analysis of the byciocles that are on the market. Most of the bikes were quite impractical, heavy and therefore dangerous in case the child falls.

I identified the target group of Lerni to determine the color scheme.

During this process, I learned a lot about color theory and explored some possible color variations based on our users (children between 2 and 5 years).

The following render is based on the color scheme of this research.
