The 'Tilt' concept hairdryer is an assistive take on the hair styling appliance that prioritizes ease of use and accessibility for consumers with limited or reduced mobility. The hairdryer is characterized by its wall-mounted construction that can be activated by the touchscreen-enabled interface on the front, while the rotating blower head can be positioned into an array of orientations. The hair drying system thus only requires one hand to be used, which is perfect for those with shoulder or arm mobility issues, or amputees.
The 'Tilt' concept hairdryer is the design work of Siew E Ian and offers a refreshingly accessible take on the essential bathroom appliance that could expedite daily grooming for the average person. The device would also help a person to maintain their independence on a daily basis.
