Inspired by the thought of reinterpreting bike-based transportation, three young Hungarian designers created something extraordinary under the unusually named brand PaperSpokes. If you feel like ditching your traditional bicycle basket and giving your two-wheeler a much-needed update, their stylish, sturdy, and customizable wooden crates provide a great modern alternative.

As spring draws closer, people all over Budapest are itching to get on their beloved bikes again, and some of them may even be thinking about giving their machines a bit of a facelift for the new season. One way to do that is by swapping your bike’s old metal basket for a hip and unique wooden crate – at least that’s what three gifted Hungarian designers thought when they set out to revolutionize bike-based transportation by launching their collection of one-of-a-kind mountable crates. Marketed under the brand name PaperSpokes, the fashion-forward, handcrafted boxes represent an updated spin on the secondhand containers used on thousands of bicycles citywide.

Whether you need to go shopping or lug your laptop around all day, you can rest assured that none of your belongings will get lost on the way – all you have to do is secure your things inside or on the outside surface of the crate with the custom-made, light-reflecting, elastic cords, which can be secured through a variety of holes depending on the size of your cargo.

Apart from being highly practical, the crates are also perfect as trendy design accessories that have been meticulously crafted to be very long-lasting. Made from a special kind of wood, PaperSpokes crates withstand strong sunshine and heavy rain, and thus can be used all year round.

According to the ladies of the designer trio, the hardest part was finding and testing the most suitable materials, which took almost a whole year. After lots of experimentation with a variety of prototypes, they’ve ended up with a set of truly durable products that are also pleasing to the eye.
