Hobbling around on a lame leg no longer means bearing the cross of lame style. German design team qed has bestowed upon the trusty crutch a much-needed 21st century makeover. The Flexability crutch is composed of molded glass-reinforced plastic and sports a stackable, streamlined shape. (More qed goodness after the jump.)
qed's Standby table is a simple utilitarian table that can be easily moved by one person thanks to a wheelbarrow-inspired base configuration.

The crutches look modern, but are they adjustable? =/
Smells like a design flaw.
Recycle? I guess not with the glass reinforcing...I agree maybe they should think about the cradle to cradle aspect in the design?
they still look highly uncomfortable for the armpits.
If I'm not mistaken, this type of crutch is suppose to be called the 'forearm crutch'. Meaning that it's not meant to be slided underneath the armpit.
