Hip Wheelchairs (GALLERY)

Have you ever wondered why Wheelchairs have to be so boring?  Designer Wai Lam is changing that with cool designs that make Wheelchairs stylish and fun.  He describes, “I designed this as part of a study of having a wheelchair contain more personality; in this case, it has a pair of hollow cartoon-like legs, making it somewhat humorous and comical. The ‘legs’ also function to shelter the users’ legs. Visually, I wanted it to function and look like a natural extension of the human body rather a chaos of metal clinging to the body.”
