This cutlery set for handicapped people can be used fully intuitively and individually, as there are no fixed holding positions. Spoon and fork are S-shaped and also have pads which can be slid on to support use when hand and finger movement is impaired. One possible position of the knife blade is for example between the middle and the forefinger and allows for safe cutting also in case of motoric hindrance.
Statement by the Jury
With this cutlery the requirements of Universal Design, particularly in the field of ergonomics and haptic have been convincingly implemented.
