IKEA has created a collection for seniors
As representatives of the network say, the OMTÄNKSAM collection was created to meet the diverse needs of users, regardless of age. However, it cannot be denied that many of the projects will be useful above all to seniors.
Such a product is, for example, the OMTÄNKSAM armchair with a high backrest for easy getting up and sitting down and an adjustable cushion that provides support for the head. Seniors will certainly enjoy the shoehorn with an elongated handle, thanks to which they will not have to bend down, or a glass OMTÄNKSAM, which has been designed in such a way that it can be comfortably and safely lifted and held even when they shake us hands up.
The collection was created in cooperation with experts in the field of ergonomics, physiotherapists and occupational therapists. Designers could look at products from many different points of view and make them as practical as possible while maintaining their aesthetic value.
Parents of young children will also find something for themselves. The OMTÄNKSAM table is completely resistant to stains and scratches, and its design - not leaning on the frame - creates more leg room.
- "Imaginative design is born when we look at the world through the eyes of others. Once we take a step back and change our perspective, the door will open for new opportunities. - says Britt Monti, leader of the creative department and originator of the OMTÄNKSAM series.
At the same time, we realized that we cannot focus solely on the elderly. Many people use products that provide additional support and comfort, temporarily or permanently, regardless of age - she adds.
