50 Workshop scenes. Bottom row: best idea – Frepper, a modular shoe
y RCA alumnus and industrial designer Professor Yasuyuki Hirai in collaboration with Kobo Maru, a non-profit creative arts workshop for disabled people. Participants Industrial design students from Kyushu University and design, architecture and systems engineering students from other universities in the region. Framework The three-day workshop followed the same structure as the Kyoto workshop, with four young disabled men from Kobo Maru participating throughout. Results Again, the results were as diverse as in the previous workshops. All but one of the user group combined speech and mobility impairments and so the proposals by the teams that worked with them focused predominantly on new ways of communication. One team devised a discreet device that could be worn around the neck, giving light signals at times when help was required. The second designed a flowershaped motif that could exist as a physical object to be worn around the neck or as a symbol that could be activated in ATMs and other public interfaces to alert service staff to a customer’s need for assistance. The third team proposed an interactive restaurant table on which images and text could be written, while the winning team proposed ‘Frepper’ – a flexible shoe with modular elements that allowed it to be accessorised and was easy to put on and remove. It could be marketed as a new footwear innovation for the mainstream market while existing in a specific special needs context. 51
