Walking Aid for children with impairments Designed with Małgorzata Małysiak
Walking is one of the most basic human abilities. When it comes to the first children’s step it usually evokes a lot of joy among family. But there are children with impairments who require more help than a family can provide, and that is the reason why we decided to design a walking aid for them.
Design process let us conduct our primary criteria which are:
STABILITY
ERGONOMICS
MOBILITY
Stability front wheel hand blockage
back wheel hand blockage
front wheels angeled
steering back wheels
adjustment screw - back wheel
adjustment screw - front wheel
ergonomy maratus
support bar
handle angle regulating joint and main regulating joint enables 3 possible position
MObility
Form main blockage - folding

low-cost uav for on demand vaccine delivery Designed with Antoni SkÄ…pski
Approximately 10 milion children and many pregnant women are left behind and are not immunized. They are therefore not protected from dying or suffering from long-life disability which is unacceptable precisely because it is solvable - we know what needs to be done. dea/rc64/8 inf.doc

inCook Electrolux Design Lab 2014- Culinary enjoyment Cooking and preparing food may be a form of relaxation and a kind of safe haven in the urban society chaos. It can be a chance to stop and to savor it with all senses. To gain most of cooking people have begun to pay more attention to what they are eat, where the ingredients come from and how it all looks on the plate. This need comes from the worries about health and life quality.
inCook pot which cooks, cools, stirs following the move of your hand.
Lit’s surface works as a controller observing your hands movments and converting its into stalagmites’ like transformation using 3d motion technologies.
Outer isulating layer which always stays cool ( safe to touch ) and the inner one made of intelligent polymers responsible for heating and cooling- its bottom may be flat or transformable into sort of „stalagmites” for better heating/ cooling results as well as enabeling stirring.
Incook takes away the worries of burning or over-cooking. It also offers something absolutely new: discovering new taste of a cooked and instantly cooled meal.
When cooking becomes magical.
