Happy
#DesignWeek! We're celebrating our latest exhibition, Access+Ability, by telling the stories behind the objects on view. Check in each day to discover new technologies and life-enhancing products.
.
The Aura Power Suit from fuseprojectsf is wearable technology that reacts to the body’s movements, adding muscle power to assist the user's mobility. Created to expand out-of-home independence for aging populations, this suit is worn underneath the clothing and adapts to the wearer's natural body contours.
.
"Instead of the design and aesthetic framework of products for the aging market that is stigmatizing and reinforces increased marginalization, the materials and design details of the Superflex design are about comfort, performance and style." - fuseproject

Access+Ability is on view in the Heinz Galleries until September 8.
