Currently exhibiting at Milan Design Week 2014, the one-piece cast aluminium Manta Ray seat by architect Zaha Hadid may look like some class of butt-cupping fetish chair but is in fact a minimalist dual armchair for two with built-in arm rests.

It’s all about the ergonomic use of surface area.

It would be wrong to find it in any way arousing.

Most riders pick up their bike by the top tube, which requires you to bend your elbow at an uncomfortable angle. This causes strain on your elbow and shoulder and makes carrying your bike any distance feel awkward. Because it’s easier to lift a bike with the Frame Handle, you’re more in control when walking up stairs or in a crowded setting. The Frame Handle has two adjustable buckles. One that wraps around the down-tube and one around the seat-tube. It can be mounted above the derailleur and below most water bottle cages.
