Remsen releases homeware to "bring back joy" to design for the elderly
Brooklyn homeware brand Remsen has released an aluminium pill container and fluted grab bar as part of its overall pursuit to "reposition the conversation around ageing".
Founded by architectural designers Spencer Fried and Sam Zeif, Remsen has created two homeware objects designed to "bring back joy" and make objects elderly people "really want" in the face of a product market that often underserves the population, according to the founders.
New York brand Remsen has launched two homeware objects designed for an ageing population
The brand has released a pill container and grab bar and has designed further products, including a stainless steel cane, a cast aluminium key turn and large-print playing cards paired with an ergonomic holder. The designers began working on the objects after witnessing elderly family members struggle with or underutilising everyday objects made specifically for an older population ? such as a relative's shower chair ? while living closer to them during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The brand intends to create "luxury home goods" for the elderly
"It was clear that the things our loved ones needed, they really didn't want ? to the point where they would rather not use the things they needed," Zeif told Dezeen.
"That was a prompt for us as designers to look at these things and think about how we could bring joy back to them."
