Artifox Designs a Bike Rack with Simplicity in Mind

The local start-up considers the user experience from start to finish.

Crafted from solid white maple, powder-coated steel, and a protective leather sleeve that lends a luxurious finish, the Rack by Artifox combines minimalist design with smart function. “We focused heavily on the installation and assembly of the rack,” says Sarah Mirth, Artifox co-founder and CEO. “Our goal is to make beautiful and functional artifacts, but we also wanted to design an entire experience.” Cycling enthusiasts will appreciate the attention to detail, right down to the tiny magnetic plate that conceals the final screw. Available in black walnut. $199.
