Elderly Pride

Han Kusters

When age kicks in and walking becomes difficult, many elderly people chose to stay at home instead of going out with a stigmatising walking aid. To lower that threshold, Han Kusters designed a classy walking cane that people can be proud of. This elegant yet strong ashwood stick with a comfortable, flat aluminium handle offers a fair amount of support. It comes with an option for an invisible alarm button inside the knob for extra safety. But to the outside world it looks more like a fashionable accessory than a tool for unsteady walkers, leaving behind a subtle personal mark with the seal at the end of the stick.
