GIANNI – Wood Bike, Italy c.1995

Gianni's wooden bike is a first-class craftsmanship and a display of mastery of the material. The bike was not made as a typical bike for transportation or riding. It's a show of art and design. The machine belongs as an addition to a modern building, hotel reception or can decorate an architect's office...

As the Italian master woodworker Tino Sana, who also produced similar bikes in collaboration with Bianchi in 1994, says: "The wooden bike is completely made of wood, except for the one-piece handling and connecting mechanisms, it is an emblem of value and refinement, made for connoisseurs and lovers of beauty."
