Glass Skin
A line of objects of prevention and daily use for patients with "glass skin".
Debra Chile, a foundation dedicated to treating Chilean patients with Epidermolysis Bullosa (a disease known as "crystal skin"), has commissioned the local designer, Joaquin Rosas, to develop a line of prevention and daily use objects for patients who Are at different levels of syndactyly development.
"The fundamental idea is to improve their functional autonomy, to develop the capacity of effort and will, to foment the discipline and control in the daily actions, besides releasing to some degree the caretaker. The objects are manufactured by 3d printers and their digital files can be downloaded from the internet, so that they can be used anywhere in the world, thus joining the revolution of digital manufacturing "says the designer graduated from Universidad Católica, Joaquin Roses.
