Care Design / Street Up Project
by UP the factory

Shopping trolley & seat :

This project, co-developed with APF and caregivers and occupational therapists, is inspired by the persona scenario: This bag facilitates the transport of shopping for wheelchair users in complete or partial autonomy.

The INVACARE Model was taken as a reference because it is the “best seller” on the market. The innovation consists of easily associating/detaching the bag from the armchair and adapting the hook to all armchair widths. The platform on wheels allows you to accommodate a shopping bag or a separable children's armchair in turn.

Monitoring of the prototype and co-development of technical solutions with a view to the prototype and the series.

​

Foldable wheelchair storage:

Based on the personas and associated scenarios, the foldable storage spaces on wheelchairs meet a constant need to have their belongings available to the disabled and their companion. The positions under the seat and in the rear area respectively meet these expectations without that they do not hinder the folding of the chair when empty.

Design and prototyping.

​

Luggage support ring:

 Liftable in 2 parts and allowing hooks and other luggage attachments to slide to bring or release them from the user in the rear area.

Design and 3D model.
