Inclusive Clothes Drying 2010
My individual project in fourth year was aimed at increasing the ease at which the elderly and disabled could dry their clothes. The solution is a wall mounted rack that folds flush to the wall to allow space for wheelchair access. All of the rails are connected using a coupling device allowing the full rack to be pulled into position in one movement.
