Wallet
The
design of a wallet answers the needs of both: seeing people and the blind.
Attractive and handy, but at the same time equipped with the elements which help the
blind distinguish different banknotes and coins.

The banknotes pocket is shaped
in a manner that corresponds to the size of different banknotes. On the flap of
the purse there is a model of a 50-grosz coin so it can be told apart from the
similar 20-grosz one (other coins do not usually cause such a problem, as they
differ in size and weight). One corner of the wallet is rounded which helps to
navigate by touch.
The wallet was created in cooperation with the Vis Maior Foundation which promotes the participation of people with sight disabilities in everyday social life. Thanks to consulting the blind people from the foundation it was easy to define the most important problems that can be solved by the design of the wallet.
