Hamsa Reflector

Protection on the road

A safety reflector for bicycle wheels.

The Hamsa Reflector clips onto the spokes of a bicycle wheel by clips at the back of thumbs.

: Simply the use of hamsa which is an important protection charm in the islamic culture. The outstretched palm protects the individual from harm by averting evil.

: Hema is known for simple classic designs with a twist. The Hamsa Reflector is basically a common bicycle reflector which is molded into another shape to add a cultural and spiritual value.

: anyone who owns a bicycle.

: I was aware of the danger of using Islamic stereotypes but in this case as Hema products are often architypical of Dutch society I considered both the obvious stereotypical elements of both Islamic and Dutch culture and sketched where the would meet.

: Industrial mold and plastic forming.

: industrial production is neccessary.
