Elementary Abacus

2020

About the Item

The Elementary Abacus offers a new kind of inclusive sensory experience, while featuring familiar references and performing everyday functionality. Keeping visual and physical experimentation at the forefront of the design process, the Elementary Abacus embodies the desire to see more designs that induce a state of ‘openness to experience’ design that caters to everyone, regardless of their sensory abilities. A piece that challenges standardisation and speaks of product design’s potential to feature more sensory richness, and modern technologies, without environmental compromise.
