顾名思义,“轮+椅”其实是一台轮椅,但是它没有“椅子”这一部分。设计本身只包含了轮椅所必须的轮子及其配件,其目的在于降低生产和运输成本,降低造价的同时减少原材料使用,低碳环保。产品在出厂的时候被拆卸后放入扁平的纸盒里,体积比普通轮椅折叠后所占的空间还要小,所以同一状态下,可以方便地运输更多这种产品。当到达使用者手里后,人们只需要找一把已有的普通椅子,运用工具将之与轮子及其附件组装起来,便能得到一把与普通轮椅功能相差无几的轮椅。这一概念设计旨在帮助世界上贫穷地区的人们改善生活质量,因为他们在有着顽疾的情况下,无法负担传统轮椅的高昂造价。低成本和设计优化使“轮+椅”能作为政府或慈善援助行动得到广泛的应用。“轮+椅”包含了一个优秀的产品设计所必需的要素,即对环境负责与对人类的关怀行为。 As its name implies, “wheel + chair ” is actually a wheelchair, but it does not have a “chair” part. The design itself contains only the wheels and accessories necessary for wheelchairs, with the goal of reducing production and transportation costs, reducing costs while reducing the use of raw materials and low-carbon environments. The product is disassembled at the factory and placed in a flat paper box. The volume is even smaller than that of an ordinary wheelchair. Therefore, more products can be easily transported in the same state. After reaching the user’s hand, one only needs to find an existing common chair and use the tool to assemble it with the wheel and its accessories to obtain a wheelchair with almost the same function as an ordinary wheelchair. The concept is designed to help people in poorer parts of the world improve their quality of life because they can not afford the high cost of traditional wheelchairs if they have chronic illness. Low cost and design optimization enable “wheel + chair ” can be widely used as government or charitable aid. “Wheel + Chair ” contains a good product design essential elements, that is responsible for the environment and care for human behavior.
