MILAN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Helbiz, a leader in micro-mobility and the business combination target of GreenVision Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: GRNV), today announced that 750 e-scooters, equipped with interchangeable batteries, will be on display at Milan Design Week from April 12-18. To celebrate the occasion, Helbiz partnered with Italian art and design school, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA), to hold a contest among students to create an original design around the theme of “style at the service of public mobility” led by professors Alberto Bettinetti e Federica Clerici.
The contest called for the creation of three distinctive designs that represent the three main districts that frame Design Week, including Brera, Ventura Lambrate and Tortona. To participate, students were asked to transform Helbiz e-scooters into real design objects in motion, highlighting the spirit and style of each district.
“Electric scooters are already an iconic symbol of our times and will be increasingly so given their contribution to making cities increasingly sustainable and livable,” said Matteo Fioribello, Head of Marketing at Helbiz. “For this reason, we are always looking for projects that raise the aesthetic, and functional standards of this extraordinary vehicle. The projects developed by NABA represent in this sense the perfect synthesis between “beauty” and “territory” in a city, Milan, which is universally recognized as the world capital of design.”
