The accessibility to wheelchair users is a growing concern in space planning, transport and furniture. Because of this, the objective of this project is to ensure independence in the kitchen to wheelchair users, so that they can enjoy a safe, self-suficient, ergonomic and practical environment, and that is sensitive to their needs and limitations. The project highlights are the rotating platform, for ease of movement and maximum hygiene when handling food, stove with safety system and extensive research on reach, height and ergonomics dedicated to wheelchair users.
