In this paper we will present a design solution for a mobile support that will allow physically challenged people to move about inside homes or institutions in a safe way. This design is based on new applications from existing materials and production technology; with a very high human interface in line with the sustainable philosophy and being able to age with grace. We would be fully satisfied with a positive response from the users who are choosing our design; and with a product that have a high acceptance level.
