In response to his own personal struggles with disability, a wheelchair-bound Mr. Graves sets out on a journey to design bath safety equipment, mobility equipment, and aids to daily living. Slate blue rubber grips and clear frosted polypropylene parts immediately come to mind-- but who knows...perhaps he'll surprise us all. Graves' ultimate goal is to revolutionize the wheelchair and scooter, proclaiming "I think we can do a better job than what is out there." Folks have been depending on good ol' Rascals for ages (and they're still pretty sweet if you ask me) but maybe it's time for a one-up.

Having tried to use Michael Graves' supremely nonfunctional and overpriced storage jars, spatulas and toaster ovens I have sympathy for any patient subjected to Graves' form-over-function, egotistical design philosophy applied to necessary medical equipment.
