Coalitions of Architects and Bikers at Studio Forbes this Week

Over 25,000 architects are coming to San Francisco this week for their annual AIA convention. That’s a lot of architects, so we decided to welcome them with an event at Studio Forbes this Thursday evening from 5-8. We’ll be serving local wines from Row Eleven and auctioning off this handsome Alta single speed bike designed by a Norwegian design group. Proceeds will benefit the San Francisco Bike Coalition. We’ll also have our Piet Hein Eek work on display along with a selection of classic modern track bikes from around the world. Architects are trained to appreciate elegance and simplicity; materials and utility, so it’s no surprise that there are quite a few bike nuts in their ranks. Bikes are notorious conversation starters among designers and architects, and it seems more than appropriate to celebrate bikes during their gathering.
