The Seattle Design Festival is a platform for bold design conversations. We believe that design is for everyone and that inclusive co-design practices are essential to shaping an equitable Seattle. We are multidisciplinary, socially engaged and civic minded.
VeloCloud is a dynamic public installation that transforms every pedal stroke into a powerful symbol of climate-conscious action. As visitors cycle, white biodegradable balloons inflate and rise into a sculptural cloud canopy, providing visual feedback of the 0.8 pounds of carbon saved for each mile ridden instead of driven. Lightweight and modular, the structure is designed for portability and arrives on site with the bike commuters who designed it. VeloCloud is a celebration of human energy, shared purpose, and a cleaner future, one ride at a time.
