A performance saddle is defined as much by its surfaces as by its silhouette.
A performance saddle is defined as much by its surfaces as by its silhouette.
This self-initiated cycling saddle concept was developed as a surface-led product study exploring the balance between ergonomic suggestion, athletic proportion and refined visual detailing.
The project focused on creating a slim performance-oriented silhouette with controlled surface transitions, subtle graphic accents and a form language that feels technical without becoming overly aggressive. CAD development was used to refine the saddle volume, edge flow, curvature and overall stance.
A physical prototype was produced to evaluate the proportions, surface character and visual presence beyond the digital model, helping assess how the design reads as a real object rather than only a rendering.
