ANTY at the Two-Wheeler Exhibition and Bicycle Conference at ACD

On Friday, we had the pleasure of co-creating the inauguration of the Two-Wheeler Exhibition and Bicycle Conference organized by the Academic Center of Design and ASP in Łódź as part of the ECOmake festival.

It was great to see the bicycle a bit outside the world of specifications and equipment itself — as a topic related to design, visual communication, and contemporary urban culture.

The conference featured several very interesting discussions around design, education, trends, and the bicycle market. Alongside people from ASP, KROSS, and Loverowi, we also made an appearance — Przemek Żebrowski spoke about designing custom bicycles, the realities of running a small workshop, and how a modern urban bicycle brand identity is built today.

Additionally, we brought several of our bicycles and Bromptons, which remained on display for the entire duration of the exhibition. Our "Italian bike" garnered particular interest — built on an ANTY steel gravel frame, with a special Italian paint job and practically entirely based on components from the Apennine Peninsula. The Campagnolo drivetrain, Cinelli components, Miche details, and Vittoria tires made a very good impression on site.

The exhibition itself, in turn, features a mass of very fresh works by ASP students — posters, identities, application designs, concepts related to urban infrastructure, and a lot of excellent graphic perspectives on contemporary bicycle culture. The competitive section of bicycle posters prepared by Poster Toster was particularly enjoyable to view.

It was very nice to see an event that shows the bicycle a bit more broadly than just through the prism of sport or equipment — more as an element of everyday life, design, and contemporary urban culture.

The exhibition runs until May 31, 2026, at the Academic Center of Design at Księży Młyn in Łódź, so if you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit.
