Vodev reshapes form and function in a playful way. His products are marked through a redefinition of the conventional use of products by adding a surprising twist and added functionality to the design. He was curator for the Sofia Design Week 2011 and 2013.
One of Valentin Vodev’s first internationally renowned products was the Roller Buggy, a stroller that can be transformed into a kick scooter. In 2013 he developed the first sketches for the VELLO Bike, a lightweight folding bike that combines innovation, sustainability and a contemporary urban style of mobility. Accompanied by Valerie Wolff, VELLO Co-Founder, a major milestone was reached in 2014 where the first VELLO Bike was presented. Today, the bike is produced in different forms, also in an electric version, and comes with a wide range of accessories.
