Orbea Grow by Álex Fernández Camps

3 July 2012

This bicycle that’s designed to grow with your child by Spanish designer Álex Fernández Camps has been awarded the top prize at the Delta Awards for industrial design at FADfest in Barcelona.

Most bikes allow for the handle bars and saddle to be raised but the Orbea Grow also has an expanding frame that can be lengthened in the middle.

The design will be on show alongside 55 shortlisted entries as part of an exhibition called FADexpo, the Best Design of the Year until 22 September.

The annual Delta Awards are organised by ADI-FAD, the industrial design arm of Spanish non-profit art and design organisation FAD.

Barcelona Design Festival continues until 5 October and encompasses FADfest from 26 June to 12 July and Barcelona Design Week from 1 to 5 October.

Orbea Grow is a children’s bike designed with the idea of creating a simple, light-weight and quality vehicle that is easier to ride. Grow considers the need for durable, quality items, industrially and socially sensitive, better suited to improving our environment, using innovative concepts, designs, solutions and facts.

The unique element of Grow bikes is the ability to grow in size as the child grows so it can be used longer. Another advantage of Grow is the ergonomic fit that reduces economic and environmental costs, ensuring that each bike adapts to each child.
