“Travel along unknown paths.” Or “Take the path less traveled.”

By Leonard Staigle / Industrial Designer

Do we need to rethink the way we travel?

This design (for a bicycle camping trailer) is based on observations of current tourism trends and the problems they cause. On the one hand, some people are increasingly seeking recreation through modes of travel that are harmful to the environment; on the other hand, a shift in mindset is taking place that is leading people to seek environmentally friendly alternatives for a break from everyday life. This project aims to design a device for these people that supports them in this shift in mindset.

A trailer for bike trips. A place to sleep at night, a cooking area, a windbreak, a spot for shade, and a way to carry our travel gear.

High-quality components and an eco-friendly design made of poplar wood.

A unique, multifunctional travel companion for outdoor and camping enthusiasts, as well as all freedom-loving people who want to travel sustainably.
