Lotte – Aiding Independence in Old Age

We should all be independent in getting up and sitting down, no matter our age or ability. However, due to age-related impairments this becomes challenging for many elderly people, limiting their freedom in everyday life. With its extended armrests that go all around and serve as a handrail, this armchair enables the user to get up intuitively in a position with minimal resistance. The design has been developed based on research carried out in care homes, prototype testing with residents and evaluations from medical and care experts.
