 WORLD GOOD DESIGNPINAKOTHEK DER
MODERNE, 2005

The shape of the GANYMEDŽ Walking Aids allows to hang them out of the way temporarily at home, when shopping or at work. They thus always stay within easy reach without dropping to the ground. Since they also can be hung over one's shoulder or forearm, they always leave a hand free for holding on to the handrail on dangerous stairs.

The anatomically shaped elastic handles fit any hand, and the effortless movement leaves hands relaxed and muscles uncramped.

Unanimous comments by hospitalized users and outpatients as well as several design awards of international significance for the GANYMEDŽ Walking Aids show, that even seemingly unchangeable items can eventually be improved upon for the benefit of the suffering.
