Gripability project - atelier
automatic easel
The Gripability easel was developed within a project for a mouth painter.
Particular requirements of the product were:
It should be possible to work the bottom edge of the canvas
even when standing. And this when working at a canvas with a minimum height of 75 cm. At the same time it was necessary to design the easel so that it could be used by an artist driving a wheelchair.
Further aims where to reach a maximal adaptability concerning the control of the product as well as a minimal consumption of space within the working environment.
An explicit wish of the client was that the frame for carrying the canvases would, as common, be made of wood. And last but not least a focus was put on optical attractiveness so that the easel would nicely accommodate to any living space.
As a result the Gripability design-team presented an easel with the following characteristics:
100 cm range - make it, depending on the height of the artist's working environment, possible to independently work at big canvases while standing or sitting.
Wall fastening with articulated arms - this particular solution makes it possible to drive with the knees underneath the easel when using a wheelchair. It as well secures the extremely low consumption of space.
Highest adaptability of the control to individual needs is guaranteed through a compatibility with the full range of rehab interfaces.
Due to its amazing design a Gripability easel is an absolute upvaluation for every environment increased by the art works of the artist working with it.
An implicitness for Gripability products are its highest security- and quality features.
tool and gear wagon & colour dispenser
The Gripability tool and gear wagon & colour dispenser was also developed within a project for a mouth painter
The primary aim of the project was to design an automatic colour dispenser which would enable an artist with a physical disability to independently dispense colour to his palette.
As a result the Gripability team presented a highly adaptive and extremely flexible colour dispenser for 19 artist colours.
Using 4 individual adjustable sensors, an intelligent electronic device and a digital display the disabled artist can choose between 19 artist colours and dispense these autonomous to his palette as he pleases.
For daily use it was necessary to hold the colour dispenser and all other for the creative work necessary tools and gear to the needs of the artist available.
Therefore the Gripability tool and gear wagon was designed.
