SPIN foldable bicycle helmet by Krittika Bhekasut combines vintage style with segmented folding mechanism

Designer Krittika Bhekasut has developed SPIN, a foldable bicycle helmet that addresses the practical limitations of carrying and storing rigid helmets in urban environments. The helmet features a segmented shell structure that collapses into a compact form for easy transport in bags or under seats, and expands back to full protective geometry via a controlled articulation system. The folding mechanism is organized along predefined axes, enabling repeated transformation while maintaining structural stability. Material selection balances impact resistance, weight reduction, and durability, with the outer shell paired with an internal support structure for comfort. The design references vintage cycling accessories in its finish and proportions, positioning the helmet as both protective gear and a wearable accessory. SPIN is designed for repeatable production and assembly efficiency, with segmented components supporting precise fabrication and long-term durability.
