Joanna M. Hawley's Eames-inspired tasteful prosthetics
Prosthetic devices are often tasteless, dehumanizing and designed in a very unaesthetic manner. Eames, the postmodern artist inspired designer Joanna M. Hawley to design a tasteful, contemporary prosthesis. The leg has incorporated a number of research materials and after interviewing several amputees, the prosthesis was designed. The prosthesis has been designed with the help of laser scanned 3D images, which helped translate human body proportions to CAD. Thanks to Sephora color specialists, the leg has varying skin tones. The product is not only aesthetically pleasant and stylish but at the same time highly functional. It could help build the self-esteem of many such people who might have lost their limbs and legs in their lives.
