touch&turn cooking system for the blind



menno kroezen is a dutch designer who developed a cooking system for the blind he calls touch&turn.
touch&turn features a cooking vessel which is cool to the touch on the outside, much like a slow cooker.
the pot sits on a tactile control panel which is designed to be as simple and accommodating as possible.
the design was developed specifically for blind and partially sighted people to make cooking a safer and
more pleasurable experience. kroezen worked with users to develop the design which alleviates common
problems that occur with traditional stovetops and cookware.

Amazing design. I hope designers realize that there are more interesting things to design, like designing for blind people, instead of struggle to see who designs the craziest things or the most famous design, forgetting that there some people that really need our creativity and good desigs to improve there lives just thinking in simple solutions for complex problems.
