Foldable Bike Basket

The introduction project involved a lot of initial research and observation and having cycling a personal passion I decided to look further into the design problems regarding the cycling experience. After some filtering I decided to work on designing a bike basket while implementing the Origami concepts into it yielding in making a foldable bike basket. Went through several iterations solving issues of stiffness, form, spacing and others using two origami simulation softwares, I reached the final concept where the user won’t be facing any difficulties regarding spacing, mount/dismount or rain and contents fall off.
