Cup for People with Arthritis
A class project for my summer school at RISD.
I believe that everyone has the right to enjoy beautiful things. Therefore objects designed to help people with arthritis should not only function well, but need to look nice as well. This cup that I designed looks the same size as a regular drinking cup, yet it incorporates a smaller gripping radius to better serve people who has stiff fingers that can't open wide.
