Designers seem to throw around the word timeless a lot, and let’s be honest, usually by that they just mean Mid-Century Modern or [worse] are trying to find the right descriptor to justify an otherwise unjustifiable price inflation [see: every adjective a realtor ever uses]. But some objects are truly timeless, in their form, in their function or in their ability to hold their own next to a Barcelona Chair. Ciclotte by Italian designer Luca Schieppati could be described as that type of object, IF it were just an object. But you’re missing the point if you’re lying on your Nelson Marshmallow Sofa just looking at this work of sculpture [ostensibly it's an exercise bike].
Ciclotte is what happens when designers and developers marry form and function AND technology. Everything it needs to be and nothing it shouldn’t, Ciclotte encourages, inspires and celebrates utilization.. and it would function beautifully in a pre-war Mies villa, the brash apartment set from 9 1/2 Weeks [or , if we're going set design, the Soviet training lab of Ivan Drago in Rocky IV, half of Kubrick's work and every Bond film with Connery] and in some room of the future we’ve yet to even understand. Timeless.
