Daytrippers: Martin Baillie and Aymeric Renoud

It's the year of the daytripper and to celebrate we've worked on a special project celebrating this and Scottish design. Working with eight designers in total to create this wonderful project, we commissioned them to create contemporary, limited-edition souvenirs for the perfect day out.

Martin Baillie and Aymeric Renoud designed each bike as mobile exhibits displaying our three specially commissioned beach towels and three limited edition seed boxes. Each bike has been custom designed to pack away neatly when being stored and to act as storage and display space when the bikes are mobile.

Aymeric Renoud is the founder of Draff Studio which began as a research project within Dundee University. Interested in eco-design and reusing waste from one of Scotland’s biggest industries, Aymeric began to experiment with the wastage from whiskey, gin and beer. With a background in furniture design, draff studio is the combination of an interest in sustainable materials and a passion for simple design.

"It has been a really exciting project, working on something completely different and involving such a mix of people. It has been amazing to see the outcome around V&A Dundee."
