Sustainable Hair Spa and Lightweight E-Bike Showcase Design Innovation

Design innovation is evident in two distinct sectors: sustainable beauty and high-performance e-bikes. In Brazil, Bioma Santos is pioneering a 100% natural hair spa, emphasizing organic products and eco-friendly practices like water reuse and renewable energy. CEO Itamar Cechetto stresses the importance of impactful sustainability over marketing ploys. The spa aims to provide a holistic experience, connecting body, mind, and soul through natural ingredients. They plan to expand to over 540 locations, focusing on licensed units to maintain brand integrity. Meanwhile, in Germany, Ponomarets Bikes has launched the Eidolon, a bespoke, ultra-lightweight e-bike. Founders Roman Ponomarets and Ludwig Eickemeyer focus on crafting "moving art" with an emphasis on elegance and performance. The Eidolon features a carbon fiber monocoque frame and a Mahle X20 rear hub motor. The bike is designed for cyclists who seek perfection in form and function, with a starting price of $13,700.
