Featured Story
Special Tomato Cup and Headphone Clip Attachments
The IATP Makers were approached by an individual requesting something to hold their water bottle and headphones that would attach to the tray of their special tomato chair. The chair is used daily and the individual would benefit from these accessories. Our designer developed and trialed a few prototypes to match the needs identified by the recipient. Modifications were made based on feedback provided by the user. He now uses the clips daily which provide better use of his tray space and some ease of access to his water bottle and headphones.
