How design for disabled people and mainstream design could inspire, provoke, and radically change each other.

Eyeglasses have been transformed from medical necessity to fashion accessory. This revolution has come about through embracing the design culture of the fashion industry. Why shouldn't design sensibilities also be applied to hearing aids, prosthetic limbs, and communication aids? In return, disability can provoke radical new directions in mainstream design. Charles and Ray Eames's iconic furniture was inspired by a molded plywood leg splint that they designed for injured and disabled servicemen. Designers today could be similarly inspired by disability.

In Design Meets Disability, Graham Pullin shows us how design and disability can inspire each other. In the Eameses' work there was a healthy tension between cut-to-the-chase problem solving and more playful explorations. Pullin offers examples of how design can meet disability today. Why, he asks, shouldn't hearing aids be as fashionable as eyewear? What new forms of braille signage might proliferate if designers kept both sighted and visually impaired people in mind? Can simple designs avoid the need for complicated accessibility features? Can such emerging design methods as "experience prototyping" and "critical design" complement clinical trials?

Pullin also presents a series of interviews with leading designers about specific disability design projects, including stepstools for people with restricted growth, prosthetic legs (and whether they can be both honest and beautifully designed), and text-to-speech technology with tone of voice. When design meets disability, the diversity of complementary, even contradictory, approaches can enrich each field.

Will buy again !
I recently got this bamboo cutting board set and I’m really happy with it. The set comes with multiple sizes, which makes it super convenient for different tasks—smaller boards for quick prep and larger ones for bigger meals. The built-in grooves are a great touch, helping catch juices and keep the counter clean. The boards feel sturdy and well-made, but still lightweight enough to handle easily. I also like the natural bamboo look—it adds a nice, clean aesthetic to the kitchen. The included stand is a bonus, keeping everything organized and easy to access. Overall, this is a practical and stylish set that works great for everyday use. Definitely a solid value and something I’d recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen essentials.
