Recycled components of Triumph motorcycles used to make home prototypes

One thing’s for sure. A Triumph motorcycle can be pulled away to pieces and a load of everyday items can be created out of its parts. Well, at least that’s what we’ve learned from the home prototypes created by a bunch of young industrial designers who teamed up with Triumph Motorcycles in collaboration with Birmingham Institute of Art and Design. Using motorcycle parts, designer Richard Underhill came up with the Turntable. Wa Ya-Lin, yet another designer came up with the “Bowl” while using a bike handle, Nick Orme designed the Corkscrew. Using a motorcycle brake and clutch levers, designer I-Chen Yang designed a fork, a spoon and a knife and the Coffee Table by Zhan Cheng uses a motorcycle’s front wheel and tire.

That’s not all. Designer Elena Matyas created a hat stand with side mirrors for hooks and front wheel hub as a base while using a bike’s tail lamp set was used to make set of small high-performance speakers and a clock. Lastly, designer John Doherty came up with kitchen Scales, made from a bonneville instrument panel and headlight bowl with altered dial faces to accurately represent pounds and kilogram. And who said Triumph motorcycles were only limited to the road!
