“Recent RCA grad and industrial designer Anirudha Surabhi’s final school project was the Kranium, a sturdy and recyclable bike helmet made from cardboard. The concept was good enough to win a 20,000 pound grant from The James Dyson Fellowship, and Surabhi’s now seeking production partners. While cardboard might not seem like an obvious choice for a helmet, Surabhi’s creation is lighter than a polystyrene helmet but reportedly offers four times the amount of impact protection. The Kranium features a sturdy cardboard grid is encased in a plastic outer, but even if water gets inside, the cardboard’s been impregnated with an acrylic waterproofing agent.”
