Little Helper
2023

    In 2050, the population aged over 60 will almost double, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). 

    In collaboration with Horgenglarus and the Senior Lab, ECAL presents unique work that brings together a range of wooden objects meeting the needs of elderly users, far from the stereotypes usually associated with this category.

    The Little Helper is a step stool designed to perform ordinary tasks, such as reaching higher or lower surfaces. 
    By utilizing Horgenglarus’s steam bending techniques, a compact and strong construction is achieved. The stool is extremely lightweight for easy mobility around the house, yet sturdy enough for confident everyday use.

    The extra-long leg provides an element of support and security from every direction when handling the stool.

    Made in ECAL under the guidance of Sam Hetch (Industrial Facility)
