Freedom Seat - This is my final year major project, It is a seating system developed to improve access to sailing for young people with severe disabilities.
The seat has inflatable membranes, which can be inflated to suit individuals requirements. This makes the seat highly adaptable and suitable for as many people as possible.
Although the seat isn't designed specifically for one person or condition, I have developed it to be suitable for serious spinal injuries and Cerebral Palsy.
