ABOUT PRODUCTID 15999
This full-size Harley Davidson motorcycle sculpture, attributed to a collaboration between Habitat and Tom Dixon in the 1980s, exemplifies a rare convergence of artisanal craft and pop-cultural commentary in a street art idiom. Meticulously made in India from natural bamboo and wicker, the piece exhibits a warm, sun-drenched palette—honey-blonde and caramel tones set against the matte, organic texture of woven fibers. Complex handwoven techniques faithfully render every part of the form: from the frame and wheels to the engine cylinders, seat, fenders, handlebars, and headlight. The construction carefully captures hallmark details of classic Harley Davidson motorcycles, with low-slung lines and robust proportions (160 cm long, 92 cm high, 55 cm wide) suggesting lifelike scale. The overall condition is described as very good, with no breaks or visible repairs, an even patina, and only gentle traces of time attesting to careful preservation. The sculpture’s design gives voice to the era it hails from—the 1980s—a time when the ideals of freedom and play intersected with a spirit of experimentation and DIY aesthetics. The motorcycle, icon of American independence, is here translated through the hands of artisanal craft and exotic materials, offering a playful yet reflective commentary on the mythos of the road. As
