Ivy – Bicycle Cable Lock Inspired by Nature

‘Ivy’ by Sono Mocci from Italy is one of the shortlisted design entries from more than 3000 participants in the designboom competition , ‘seoul cycle design competition 2010’, organized in collaboration with Seoul design foundation.

“Why does our bicycle need to be connected to light poles by chains like a criminal in prison? Inspired by nature, the design of this cable wire lock is a mimicry of ivy. It is unified in our dailyscene and promotes protection of the environment. It is soft and feels natural. ‘Ivy’ is a plugto awaken the relationship between you and society. 4 dial number lock, steel wire + silicon gomcovered. 2 sizes: short (900mm), long (1500mm)” – says designer.

The only thing I’m afraid of is that someone would steal your cable lock instead!
