皇家藝術學院與Brooks England 合作的作品，還有影片可以看呦!!

As a designer, I’m always fascinated by brands that reinvent and extend their product lines. Brooks England, the famous maker of cycling seats and leather goods, brought in designer Ben Wilson and his students from The Royal College of Art and gave them a design brief: “What would Mr. Brooks do next if he was alive today?”

BROOKS 2014發行的新產品 - 折疊式頭盔安全帽，雖然已經很多家都有發行了，但這次BROOKS 把2種不同材質放在同一頂安全帽使的這個設計顯得更加的有趣~

尤其是把格紋與人字文粗毛呢的材質加進去安全帽裡，再用彩色皮革把他保裝起來是不是更有濃濃英國秋天的感覺啊~

This is a big favorite at Selectism: Back in August during Capsule Show in Las Vegas, we stumbled upon the Brooks England and Carrera collaborative helmet. While various colors of the folding helmet were displayed, we pulled to the white colorway and quickly added it to our all-white Capsule Selects display box. It was a hit to say the least.

The J.B. foldable cycling helmet is part of Brooks England’s Fall/Winter 2014 collection inspired by the classic leather “hairnet” helmets past and aptly named after the company’s founder, John Boultbee Brooks. Variations of the new modern take on the folding helmet include heritage tweed, herringbone and tartans that wrap around portions of the shell, while leather details line the neck and carrying strap. The closure system on the helmet was developed by Carrera.

Both versions of the helmets — the J.B. Classic and J.B. Special — will be available beginning at the end of September, though a few colors of the “Special” are available now.

Brooks England previews an interesting accessory which looks similar to a small hand bag but is much more than that. The Victoria bag is designed to be both carried in hand as well as attach to your bicycle saddle when in transit. The Victoria slips over your saddle (as a cover) allowing the pouch end to hang off the rear of the saddle – like a normal saddle bag. An interesting concept acquired from an entry to one French horse saddle maker’s design competition. VIA
