At first glance, people might not be able to pay attention to anything but how beautiful the Layerlab GO Wheelchair is. With a [bucket seat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-ergochair-ultra-2) that boasts a striking perforated pattern, large and slim wheels as well as a sweeping foot rest, no one can blame them. Yet the Layerlab GO Wheelchair is much more than its stunning look.

Designed in collboration with Layer/Benjamin Hubert and Materialise, the Layerlab GO Wheelchair is made using [3D printing technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personomic-saddle). This allows it to be measured specifically for each person while also boasting a [lightweight and nimble](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-electric-wheelchair) function. Ordered through an app, people can pick different elements, patterns and colourways to ensure they get a wheelchair that is tailored not only to their bodies, but to their individual tastes as well.
