PeaPea

designer:Hsin Yi Chang and Chi Chin Cheng
Our concept was basic from a situation about senior citizens falling down accidentally in the bathroom. We found out that medical shower chairs usually have been given a label of handicapped people. As to that, most people choose unsafe stools instead of medical shower chairs. For this reason, a shower chair which is out of label, friendly, and safe is our design point. To be a friendly shower chair, Pea Pea’s form is an organic pea-shaped with bright and fresh color that breaks up the stereotype of medical shower chairs. In order to be convenient to wash your body and safe, Pea Pea’s armrests and backrest are formed like hands to protect users. In addition, its height is 36 centimeters right for users washing their feet effortlessly and it won’t hurt their waist while sitting down; 3 negative degrees declined of the shower chair’s seat has advantage to drain the water. There are skidproof dots underneath the seat to prevent from falling down while the user sits down the chair.

以老人為最低使用者，從浴室跌倒情境裡發想，發現醫療用洗澡椅經常被認為是給身心障礙人士所用，導致一般人拒絕使用，而選擇較不安全的凳子。因此，一張去標籤化並具親和力與安全的洗澡椅是我們的設計重點。 在造型與顏色上的選擇，為豆莢類圓潤有機造型和明亮清新的色調使之具親和力，並打破一般人對洗澡椅的刻版印象。基於洗澡椅首要符合方便洗澡且安全，因此扶手與靠背從座面一體形成呵護狀圍繞使用者。此外，洗澡椅為了不費力洗腳與起立坐下時不傷腰椎，經測試36公分為最合適高度，而向後3度傾斜的座面更是有利於排水。座面上的防滑顆粒，防止因坐下時往後靠而導致向後跌倒。
