ERGONOMIC TABLEWARE SET
TOOL ADAPTATION FOR ACCESSINILITY
2021, 6 week project - University
Focused on accessibility, this project explores user needs, material adaptability, and intuitive design to improve the dining experience for individuals with arthritis. By enhancing comfort and ease of use, it promotes independence and inclusivity at the table.
During the process of this design, the understanding of the user capabilities and experience was the main point, trying to understand daily useful products in order to adapt them for public with reduced hand mobility
The final brief and intention is to design plates that can be held and support by people with reduce strength and mobility , looking for ergonomic shapes and materials
the process to find the ergonomic shape that is later defined through CAD softwares is achieved by the mixture of models and sketches, mixing mathematical shapes with real-life interactions

This project aligns with The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) according to the The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Due to the nature of the design, its aim in society and accessibility, it focuses on Goal 3 "Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages" and Goal 10 "Reduce inequality" .
