C.Beglinger_La_Roue_Giesskanne_4_Montage

The watering can «La Roue» was developed as part of a diploma thesis at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland FHNW. developed. It makes watering plants easier for people with rheumatic complaints. The «La Roue» watering can offers several handle positions for axis-compatible watering and round movements. The sliding handle ensures that the load of water remains centred and close to the body. With the solution presented, the project addresses two major trends of our time: While our society is getting older and older and thus various physical ailments hinder everyday life, cultivating one‘s own garden is becoming increasingly important again, especially in retirement age.

Comments of the jury

With her project, the young designer shows that tried and tested everyday products still hold potential for optimisation. With her focus on the ergonomic aspects of a watering can, she simultaneously draws attention to rheumatic diseases and the social developments of ageing as well as the reviving trend towards closeness to nature.
