SHOP
ABILITY, part of DESIGN ABILITY, was a project promoted by Pininfarina
Extra S.r.l. and inserted in the Torino 2008 World Design Capital
calendar.
The above mentioned project considers the different places where
disabled people live their social life such as the city, the
supermarket, sport plants and offices, in order to analyze the
difficulties met by such people and to develop innovative, functional
and engaging design products and concepts, which can also be interesting
for and used by non-disabled people (design for all).Participants
have to study and design a functional and innovative-designed
“accessible shopping cart/shopping case”, which allows disabled and
non-disabled people to shop in supermarkets, moving autonomously and
being able to reach all types of exposed products, whatever their
collocation into the shelves of supermarkets is.
