IKEA ThisAbles - Furniture hacks for people with disabilities
IKEA has released a set of furniture hacks in campaign (IKEA ThisAbles) that anyone can download and 3D-print to make their products more usable by people with disabilities. The IKEA ThisAbles project was conceived to allow people with special needs to enjoy the quality of life provided by IKEA products. "As part of IKEA’s vision to “create a better everyday life for as many people as possible”, we joined forces with the non-profit organizations Milbat and Access Israel, that specialize in creating special solutions for populations with special needs and disabilities, and developed a new and revolutionary line of products that bridge some of the gaps between existing IKEA products and the special needs of people belonging to these populations. It was important for us to create maximum access in every aspect of the project, from the designated site that we constructed for the project, that was adapted for people with disabilities, to the products themselves, some of which can even be printed independently in a 3D printer based on models that we have made available to the general public."
