combining design, comfort and ergonomics, the series of walking sticks ‘festival’ by french designers antoine lesur and marc venot, are each assigned a personal identity. ‘elle, elonie, harry and jerry’ give people the option to choose from one of the four different characters. the design comes after much research on the functional and aesthetic aspects of the supportive device, in order to help old people accept using a walking stick more easily. the pieces are made from a range of different materials, from wood to aluminum and the varying shapes allow for individual comforts.
