Printed prosthesis for children nominated for the Core77 Design Awards
A student project from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design has been nominated for the 2015 Core77 Design Award out of hundreds of finalists. The Core77 Design Awards is giving design student, Johanne Gieseler, this distinguished ranking for her project GREIF, a 3D-printed prosthesis adapted to children’s active lives. The prize is awarded in the “Social Impact” category.
The project was designed as part of a course at KADK. The jury were particularly struck by it, because it is inexpensive and in tune with users, and because it is so flexible that it can be adapted to individual children and all the different situations a child may encounter: e.g. games, sports and drawing.
