II want to help architects and designers take a new approach to fitted furniture. Regardless of age, budget or mobility, everyone should have access to functional, accessible storage that is both beautiful and practical, as well as sustainable. By supporting projects from specification through to tender, I’ll help make that possible from the very start.

What the experts are saying
Because most of our designers are in their 20s and 30s, they have no idea what it will be like when they reach 65 or above, and we are an ageing population. If they can start to think about it now, we will ensure better designs in the future.

Blum highlights the importance of a user-centric approach to designing and coming up with solutions to challenges.. It’s really important that students understand how that influences the development of a design.

How much goes into designing something, all the different factors you have to account for and the whole value chain of how the product travels and all that has to be taken into consideration when you design. It’s these factors that confirm Blum as the industry leader in innovation and design.
Avani Patodi
It can be challenging to explain aging difficulties to somebody who might be in their 60s or even 70s, and perfectly fit at the moment. We need to explain that their kitchen will last another 15 to 20 years, and in that time, they probably will need help with access to base units. That’s why the Blum workshop was great, as it’s exactly what we’re trying to emphasise through our work in ergonomics.
