1930년대에 개발된 스팀벤딩 공정을 이용한 소넥 바이크는 수려한 곡선이
독특함을 넘어서는 기능적 아름다움을 선사합니다. 여기에 비치우드를 벤딩한 프레임은
별도의 강성처리를 통하여 탄력과 강성을 확보합니다. 이렇게 통합된 기능과 디자인은
소넥 바이크의 독특한 아이텐티를 만듭니다.

thonet has collaborated with london-based designer andy martin to develop a concept road bicycle using their steam bending process developed in the 1930s. constructed using beech wood, the frame is precisely adjusted with a CNC machine along with its solid beech pan which sits on sprung rod supports to reinforce
joints and major stress areas in the frame. the fixed gear conception takes influence from the tradition of cycling; where one has a greater connection to the
bike and the surface a user rides on. built without brakes, it still has the capabilities of using several interchangeable gear ratios.
