’Assistive tools go mainstream’ is an inclusive design project. The main goal of the project was to contribute to maintaining quality of life and support an individual lifestyle.
The projects result is the assistive tool ’Rondo’ - a shower stool. With features like in e.g. a large rotating seat, three legged, hight-adjustable structure and non-slipping feet, the product enables and simplifies personal hygiene, and helps minimize energy used while taking a shower. Being able to maintain personal hygiene is a minimum requirement for an individual lifestyle.
It has been my focus to avoid a stigmatizing metaproduct, and differentiate from assistive tools of today. The material choice of Kebony and powder coated aluminium supports this.

Rondo has been developed in cooperation with users that have chronic fatigue syndrom, but the product has many other user groups.
