A ground swell of demand for intelligent human-centered design is being heard throughout the world, and it's signaling the end of descrimination by design. A new generation of sleek, stylish homes and household products, designed for people of all ages and abilities, feature flat thresholds, pull-out kitchen storage, easy-to-reach-and-clean appliances, dockable kitchen trolleys, adjustable-height vanitiesroll-in showers, and so much more.
