Brace Stool
Brace Stool is conceptualized not as a design piece but as an item to assist disabled/elderly people
Brace Stool is conceptualized not as a design piece but as an item to help on the wellness and comfort of the less physically fortunate ones. Our idea on the usage and function of this stool is to make the disabled people or those elderly ones to be comfortable to stand using the different kind of armrest. Since the position of the arms is positioned to 25 degrees, the body’s posture will be forced to move to the side which can be easily lifted up during the lift up position. And on the right side of the arm is a round stick head which will help strengthen the palm in supporting the body’s weight. It is also light and can be moved easily. We also make the armrest in right side for right handed people and left side for left-handers to cater both of them. Sizes vary from S, M, L and XL.
