About the Item

An iconic design by British designer Tom Dixon, this full-scale woven wicker motorcycle was created during his tenure as Head of Design at Habitat in London in the late 1990s. A masterful blend of industrial form and traditional craftsmanship, the piece reimagines a machine built for speed and rebellion in a soft, organic material—giving it an unexpected Steve McQueen-meets-cottage-core aesthetic. Think rugged cool meets artisanal charm, where the spirit of vintage motorcycles collides with the warmth of handwoven wicker, making it as much a sculptural statement as it is a testament to Dixon’s innovative design philosophy. While it stands beautifully on its own, it could also be mounted on a wall as a bold artistic centerpiece. In perfect condition, and with a richly patinated surface, this one-of-a-kind piece offers the thrill of the open road—reimagined through a lens of traditional British craftsmanship, nostalgia, and high design.
