Everyone should be able to move through our shared public spaces and buildings in a safe and dignified way. In complex environments such as stations, terminals, and other public transport hubs, universal design is not just a feature – it’s a fundamental design principle that ensures equal access and high functionality for all, regardless of physical or cognitive ability.

Conscious material selection and relocatable solution
The bicycle parking signs are made of galvanized steel and can be used to mark a designated area for temporary bicycle parking. The signs’ light blue colour causes them to stand out from the standard urban equipment. Bicycles are parked in between two signs that show the beginning and end of the bicycle parking area. A single sign weighs 45 kg. rendering it durable and easy to move around according to requirements.
The project was completed for Frederiksberg Municipality and CBS.
The parking solution is used as a supplement to the permanent bicycle parking, at future events where there may be need for extra parking spaces.
The easily identifiable design can be used to avoid unwanted blockages of sidewalks and emergency exists.
