Banwood X House of Rispal release limited edition ICON balance bike
Banwood is a long-time admirer of the iconic House of Rispal. In 2021 Banwood X Rispal designed the first Icon bike in gold, which was a groundbreaking collaboration between high-end design and outdoor children’s toys.
Now, for A/W 2024, Banwood X Rispal are releasing a limited number of Icon balance bikes in Rose, Cream and Sage.Co-founder of family business Banwood, Frida Jonsby says: “Banwood and Rispal have both brought their take of modern design to the outside world; Rispal with its focus on creating lighting designs from The Golden Age of French furniture and Banwood with establishing kid’s outdoor products in timeless designs that create a sense of 1960s nostalgia, and encouraging an active, outdoor lifestyle.”
The balance bikes will be available for pre-order in August, from www.banwood.com.
They cost £249 and will be delivered from October onwards, ready for Christmas.
This collection is an homage of the 20th century to today’s children. The creation has been thoughtfully created by the interior designer Douglas Mont and brought Banwood into the world of the House of Rispal. Douglas wanted to create a retro-design with elements from the 50s and 60s and a personal touch. The result is characterized by an extravagant design made of an exclusive selection of materials.
The design of the frame is inspired by Streamline Moderne and characterized by curved structures and horizontal lines which represent the impression of movement and speed.The choice of wheels is based on Douglas’ personal connection to Clermont Ferrand, the city of Michelin, where he grew up. The Michelin tires give the bike a little extrapersonal touch and provide a secure ride.

The luxury bikes, trikes, scooters and new skateboards, safety gear and carry straps come in a range of classic colours such as pale mint, cream, baby pink, navy, berry red and racing green which are perfect for photoshoots. There are also several exciting pattern collaborations with brands including Anthropologie and Liberty London.
