The Inspiration Behind Invisible Creations
Laura’s inspiration stemmed from a personal experience. Her grandmother, despite needing mobility support, strongly opposed using conventional grab rails due to their institutional look. This sparked a realisation: there had to be a better way to provide support for older adults and people with mobility limitations, a way that wouldn’t compromise their sense of style and independence.
Invisible Creations stands out by offering a unique range of mobility aids that are as discreet as they are functional. Their signature product, the plant potholder grab rail, exemplifies this philosophy. It seamlessly integrates into the home environment, providing essential support without appearing out of place. This user-centred approach ensures that users can maintain their independence and a sense of dignity within their own homes.
Beyond Aesthetics: Universal Appeal and Safety
While designed with older adults and those with mobility challenges in mind, Invisible Creations’ products offer a surprising benefit – universal appeal. Their cleverly disguised grab rails, incorporated into everyday household items like toilet roll holders and shower shelves, prove useful for a wider range of users. Young children learning to use the toilet, individuals with temporary injuries, or people with chronic pain can all benefit from these strategically placed supports.
Safety remains a paramount concern. Invisible Creations prioritises both aesthetics and functionality. All their products adhere to stringent British safety standards and undergo rigorous testing to ensure they can support user weight. This commitment to quality guarantees that users can rely on these aids with confidence.
Innovation and Expanding Horizons
The company isn’t stopping at indoor solutions. Recognising the importance of maintaining mobility outdoors, they’re developing a new garden range. This exciting line-up features path lights with integrated rails and planters with built-in grab bars, allowing users to navigate their gardens safely and continue enjoying their outdoor spaces.
A Mission to Transform the Future of Mobility Aids
The vision behind Invisible Creations is nothing short of transformative. Laura aspires to a future where the current, often sterile design of mobility aids becomes obsolete. Instead, she envisions a world where stylish and user-friendly designs empower people of all ages and abilities to live independently and age well at home.
Beyond the Interview: Additional Considerations
The growing senior living market highlights the increasing need for innovative solutions like those offered by Invisible Creations. As more people choose to age in place, accessible housing design becomes even more critical. Incorporating features like strategically placed grab bars disguised as everyday household items can significantly improve safety and independence for older adults.
The Importance of Ageing Well at Home
There are numerous benefits to ageing well at home. Maintaining familiar surroundings fosters a sense of comfort and security, while also promoting mental and emotional well-being. Furthermore, studies have shown that older adults who can live independently often experience better physical health outcomes.
Invisible Creations’ approach to mobility aids is a breath of fresh air. Their thoughtfully designed products prioritise aesthetics, functionality, and user dignity, empowering people to maintain their independence and age well at home. As the company continues to innovate and expand its product range, we can look forward to a future where mobility aids seamlessly blend into our lives, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.
