The walking stick gets a minimal makeover - Yanko Design

There'south one aesthetic way that binds most products that are made for the elderly. Yous'll notice that all products 1 associates with the aged, have a vintage mode. Walking sticks are seldom made to expect minimal or gimmicky. Rocking chairs likewise. You'll seldom observe a pair of futuristic looking bi-focals.

Studio Shiro challenges convention with the ENEA walking stick. Made out of 3D printing, the stick has a contemporary air that makes a mode statement, rather than looking like a disability device from a bygone era. The pattern redefines functionality while celebrating minimalism. It features a 3-axis handle that ane tin can grip firmly (while making sure information technology doesn't slip out of your grip). The handle's three pronged design even allows it to be rested vertically on the flooring. To make things more interesting, the load-bearing shaft of the stick features an extra projection that allows the stick to balance on the side of desks or counter-tops in a fashion that'due south convenient and fun both at the same time.

To go along the stick as light equally, if not lighter than its wooden or metallic-piping contemporaries (or should I say ancestors), the ENEA is fabricated using a stress-begetting, porous inner structure, much like the inside of our bones. To achieve this unique construction, the ENEA is printed from pinnacle to lesser via 3D printing.
