Hability was born from the need to combine a careful analysis of the needs of the disabled with the creation of a kitchen that is not merely accessible but also aesthetically pleasant and accurate in every detail. The collaboration between architect Marco Miscioscia, a designer attentive to the world of the disabled, and Valcucine, a company that has made the philosophy of beauty its motto, has resulted in the creation of this industrial product that can be utilized just as well by people with no handicap as by the disabled, without the kitchen labeling the person as is often the case with similar projects.
Easy Food is a system in stainless steel for the kitchen, designed to reduce work during food preparation. It is extremely innovative in terms of ergonomics, safety and technical solutions and has been designed to be very accessible to the advantage of anyone using the kitchen. The stainless steel top has been made from a single mould. This technology avoids welding and built-in elements that would increase costs and imperfections.

This combination of drier and cleaner can be a great help if we can have it, thanks to Qian Jiang & Feijun Chen that came up with this concept. The form of the work derives from the towel in our daily life. It appears ordinary, but it can unintentionally take care of our health. It can be recharged by the solar energy. And when we don’t use it, we can place it in the balcony to absorb the sunshine. It is our habit to use ultraviolet as disinfector in our daily life, when drying the towel, clothes and others. We hope that users continue to form the habit through the use of Drier and Cleaner. After washing hands, if we only use the hand drier, many bacteria will still remain on our hands. However, Drier and Cleaner will solve this problem in a healthier and greener way. This product is mainly suitable in the future family.
