$110 for a dining set that looks like it is straight out of Ikea!?! Yup, and worth every penny.
Sure today is only the end of August, and sure, it was in the mid 90’s in normally cool headed East Idaho, but Christmas may just have come early. At least for those who are suffering from Alzheimer’s it has. Well, for those whose loved one’s plan on leaving them this awesome dining set in their stocking.
According to Foodbeast, When designer Sha Yao’s late grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, the young designer felt helpless and wanted to do more for her loved one. Yao spent time volunteering in senior care facilities that care for patients of Alzheimer’s and other impairing conditions.
The colors, shapes, design were all thought out with Alzheimer’s patients in mind. It even uses scientific research to help stimulate the appetite of someone suffering from Alzheimer’s.
Her design got noticed. In 2014, it won the Stanford Design Challenge out of 52 teams from 15 countries.
