Blockhead Bike Stem by Karen Day
Today's bike culture is all about customization, and cw&t's new Blockhead Bike Stem does just that. Carved out of a solid block of 7075 aluminum, the indestructible stem affixes handlebars in style. Focusing on ways we construct space, Che-Wei Wang and Taylor Levy—the Pratt Institute architecture professors that make up cw&t—perfectly exemplify this with their small but powerful component.
The Blockhead Stem is available for purchase from the cw&t website for $89, but for the lucky five who get there first, cw&t is offering 25% off, simply enter "agoodword" at checkout.
