30 Unruly Wheelchairs

From Illuminated Wheelchairs to Wicked Wheelchair Beds

— November 15, 2009 — Lifestyle
Although one would never hope to be in a wheelchair, they are still a great invention which helps disabled people get on with their lives as normal as they possibly can.

From illuminated wheelchairs to wicked wheelchair beds, check out some of the most innovative wheelchairs we have seen that push the limits of what wheelchairs should be.

Implications - In today's society individuals are always looking for a way to express their style, either through fashion or accessorizing. People who have to use a wheelchair to get around should not be dismissed from expressing their style and feelings. Designers should participate in providing new ways for people who are disabled to express themselves.
