Did you know PotteryBarn has launched a new accessible furniture collection in collaboration with Michael Graves Design?
Inspired by Michael Graves’ journey after paralysis, this accessible furniture collection prioritizes safety, accessibility, and elegant design to enhance daily living.
This famous designer’s extensive experience in the field of design and architecture has profoundly shaped his understanding of the importance of creating spaces that are not only visually appealing but also highly functional and accessible to a diverse range of users.
Through his journey, he has come to recognize the critical need for accessible design that is functional, beautiful, inclusive, and empathetic to the needs of all users, including those with disabilities, the elderly, and anyone who may face challenges in their daily lives.
His commitment to this principle is evident in every aspect of his work, as he strives to break down barriers that have traditionally existed in design.
