Hi. I am an Occupational Therapist turned Artist and Designer, currently completing an MA in Design at NUCA.
I 'm really interested in doing a project looking at the aesthetics of the equipment that is currently on the market - especially adapted cutlery, cups, bowls and plates. I haven't worked as an OT for several years, but a quick look on the internet tells me things haven't moved on an awful lot - still quite a lot of beige plastic around!
I would really value any feedback you may have in this area - things you may have used or would consider using. Do you you use any adapted tableware that is functional but could look better?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Wishes
Katy
I forgot to say that I would value your feedback even if you DON'T use any of the adapted tableware on the market - but still have an opinion on it!
Shoot any imporovement on the aesthtics would be great. i use built up handles which means black rubber handles. I won't spend the money on more than one set but that means I have mismatched silverware at the table. Changing that handle to white or some other brighter color would mean I would buy more sets.
yeah hospital aqua is a color...you know that kind of sickly light green that you see in hosptials..ooh ugly!! The shower chairs are ugly too..white plastic isn't much better
Someone's husband, I -think- it was Kelstev's, bought inexpensive kitchenware, removed the handles and used them to create an attractive and functional set of flatware.
