Un “velib” signé Michel Dallaire

 

“Michel Dallaire , le plus connu de nos designers industriels, imaginera le vélo en libre-service installé à Montréal.

À la suite d’un appel aux designers industriels lancé par Stationnement Montréal, la société en commandite responsable du projet,
Michel Dallaire a été désigné comme le plus apte à accomplir le travail, mais surtout le plus expérimenté dans le domaine du mobilier urbain. Son mandat comprend non seulement la conception des stations d’ancrage des vélos, mais aussi celle des bicyclettes elles-mêmes, qui doivent convenir à toutes les morphologies. Le designer s’associe donc au fabricant québécois Devinci.”
