Project Work in cooperation with Andy Wolf, Austria

 
MAHSTETIC / Hörhilfen

Everyday medical aids serve a practical purpose, yet the aesthetics are often neglected. Since these medical aids need to be worn in daily life, it is important to enjoy wearing them instead of simply hiding them. Design has the inherent power to break the stigma attached to medical products in our society. The product line consists of two everyday medical aids, the hearing aid and a hearing implant, which are designed to be recognized as pieces of jewelry in pubic.
