Freedom Wheelchair. The first prototype of the concept wheelchair was launched in November 2007 at the University of Western Sydney. This chair which was designed in-house and made in Australia, was assisted by a Sustainable Regions Innovation grant and took over 3 years to complete. The chair is designed for active paraplegics and is intended to reduce barriers to travel and independence. The chair's unique axel-less design allows the user's everyday chair to be quickly converted to a commode for use over a toilet or in a shower. The chair easily folds down to become smaller and lighter than others currently on the market, while maintaining a high level of features and adjustability. The use of Nanotechnology throughout the chair has led to a keen national and international following of this project's success. With function
and manufacturability as primary concerns, this project is a good
example of how Lu Papi & Associates can take a product from
concept to realisation.
