Designer creates camouflaged rectilinear motorcycle that blends into the urban landscape
Designer Joey Ruiter has recently created a new piece of urban architecture. Or at least, on the surface, it appears that way. The urban artwork sits as a canvas for graffiti, but, with the push of a button, the metallic cubic geometry lifts off of the ground, flips out a seat, and unveils a set of handlebars, transforming into a fully-functional motorcycle. "I wanted to create a piece that is museum-worthy that’s completely unnoticeable and so familiar, you’re just going to walk past it," Ruiter said about the piece on his website. Moreover, Ruiter said that he and his J.RUITER studio is all about "trying to push design to the point of not being there."
