DE&SI
DE&SI the first ergonomic cup for left handed and right handed people
I 'll introduce you the first coffee cup with the only ergonomic handle, and the first to be made even for left-handed people. The correct use of the grip is distributed on a circumference and therefore, no point or surface is subjected to a mechanical load greater than the other articulations engaged.
The correct movements of the hand and wrist, in the grip of the cup, also help to diminish and relieve people subject to syndromes of: De Quervain, Carpal Tunnel, Rhizoartrosis.
The DE&SI cup is formed by a handle which, starting tangential to the outer edge of the cup, is wrapped around the surface to end at the base of the cup, with a sinusoidal configuration, such as to make the handle ergonomic, due to its type of grip, which involves all the fingers of the hand, so as to reduce their efforts. As for the Cup we paid the utmost attention to the Design for All, with regard to social inclusion, equal opportunity, uses in the different phases of life and to autonomy of the person.
