Rizoma factory visit

Last weekend I have been visiting Milan, with a colleague of Spark design & innovation, for the Salone del Mobile. On our way home we visited Rizoma as well! They are sponsoring my café racer project, and I know them for quite few years now, but I was never able to visit the factory.. till now!

Main impression is awesome. The packages of the Rizoma product reflect the company very well; nicely designed, clean and well organized! The tour around the factory passed 19 CNC milling machines and many other machinery the “after care” of the milled parts.

Even the assembly line, packaging and storage systems are impressively well organized and highly efficient. All together an interesting tour around their factory, thanks guys!

The Rizoma 77|011 is one of those products that really makes a shopping window complete! Last Wednesday Rizoma's Matteo Mengacci and I went to Lokal Heroz in Rotterdam to display one 77|011 in their shop, and it definitely looks amazing.

Later that day we arriving in The Hague at Lola Bikes and Coffee with a very warm welcome. The guys immediately grabbed all the camera’s available in the shop and the next 15 minutes we only made photos, more photo’s and… photo’s! No reason to complain about attention around 17.30pm at Noordeinde in The Hague; a busy street with Dutch commuters on bikes!

For all bicycle and fixy lovers; visit Lola Bikes and Coffee as soon as you can. This is an amazing hangout for everyone addicted to bikes, books about bikes, coffees and a unique atmosphere. Lola is located in an authentic shop downtown The Hague and with quite a selection of cool rides in their shop!
