Kleanthes
Bicycle Rack Adapter for Beverage Crates
Kleanthes is a simple yet ingenious accessory designed for environmentally and health-conscious Vöslauer customers who prefer to transport their purchases by bicycle. Lightweight, elegant, and characterized by its soft, organic form, Kleanthes enables the convenient transport of the iconic Vöslauer 8 × 1 litre bottle crate on a standard bicycle rack.
Manufactured from the same material as the crate itself, Kleanthes is fully recyclable and aligns with the principles of sustainable product design. Its efficient production makes it a cost-effective addition that can be included directly with the crate, encouraging more people to choose cycling as a practical and eco-friendly mode of transport.
Beyond its functional value, Kleanthes transforms everyday customers into visible ambassadors of the Vöslauer brand, seamlessly connecting sustainable mobility, product innovation, and brand identity.
“Simple, smart and elegant. A bicycle could easily be turned into a pack mule, if only we were not a country of regulations.”
