Metro
Art Deco elegance and aerodynamics reimagined as protection.
Concept
Metro is a helmet inspired by the elegance and aerodynamics of Art Deco, evoking the stylized, geometric forms characteristic of that era. Its design is built on fluid lines, metallic details, and a symmetrical structure that reflect the dynamism of the 1930s. The material palette and finishes seek to convey the fusion of luxury and functionality, embodying the spirit of an age where speed and modernity were symbols of progress.
Reference
The design draws direct reference from the aesthetic of the film Metropolis (1927) — particularly its architectural forms, the contrast between materials, and the sense of technological advancement. The outer shell features an aerodynamic profile complemented by a stylized visor and a two-piece ventilation grille. Functional elements include an interior earpiece and a hydration tube, ensuring a balance between style, ergonomics, and protection.
