Wooden wheels for children
- • Emir is an architect with a creative spirit
- • The first wooden bicycle he made was a gift for his son
- • His Tochak bicycles received two awards in 2019
Emir Salkić is the man who invented the wheel or at least a brand called TOCHAK (wheel), as he likes to joke. The 47-year-old Bosnian architect and entrepreneur made his first wooden Tochak bicycle for his son in 2017, wanting to make it easier for his boy to learn to ride a bicycle. It is a bicycle without pedals that a child uses to master maintaining balance before using a bicycle with pedals. Completely handmade, Emir's bicycles are the product of creative woodworking and 3D printing. He allows his customers to personalise their bikes on the TOCHAK website by choosing the type of wood, the colour of the bicycle and desired engravings. In 2019, Emir received the BigSEE Product Design Award and the BigSEE Wood Design Award.
