Designer and cycling enthusiast Lorenzo Martone designed “Invisible Bike,” a moss- and foliage-covered bicycle that when placed against a lush outdoor background, appears to disappear into the green expanse. Inspired by the growing movement towards sustainable lifestyles, the installation is constructed from a Martone Cycling Co. green aluminum alloy men’s bicycle covered by five different types of moss and synthetic leaves. The otherwise all-green bicycle is accented by the brand’s signature red chain. The “Invisible Bike” went on auction at the Brazil Foundation Gala at the Lincoln Center last week.
