Hello, this is Aoi from MACHICOCO staff.
Once again, we'll be taking a closer look at the products from the Gift Show.
The handle of the frying pan in this photo has a strange shape. What do you think it is?
No, no 🙅♀️ Those aren't Sent-kun's horns.
This is a frying pan handle designed and made by a husband (a craftsman) for his wife, who has rheumatoid arthritis and cannot bend her fingers.
The manufacturing was done by a prototype shop in Higashi-Osaka (specializing in resin and light metal cutting).Santo Prototype Model。
I love cooking, but the act of gripping something is painful and difficult.
Losing confidence is painful. To those who are going through the same thing, have confidence!
His wife said, "Of course the pain is tough, but...""I can't do it, so I need help, I'm causing trouble"—that feeling is even more difficult.」。
I hope that by showing that I can still cook even if my hands don't move the way I want them to, and that I can continue doing what I love, others who have the same problem can regain their confidence.and.
I think it's absolutely wonderful.
(I lack the vocabulary to say anything but "wonderful," so please try to understand it from the number of "っ" sounds.)
At first, I only saw it as "a convenient handle that can be gripped by people who can't bend their fingers due to rheumatism or other conditions," but after hearing about the process during production, I feel like I've realized that the most important thing isn't that.
Of course, functionality is important, but beyond that is "You can do things you couldn't do before, gain confidence, and cooking, which used to be a chore, becomes enjoyable."This is probably a very important point, isn't it..."
I've never personally experienced that kind of inconvenience, so it's just an image I have.I couldn't do it, but I understood after listening to the explanation.
They received a lot of feedback at the gift show, and apparently there are many things they want to improve and new ideas they have, so it seems they'll be changing the design again in the future.
A product born from the love between husband and wife 😊
I also want to make an alarm clock that keeps making an unpleasant noise in my husband's ear until he gets up and gets dressed, since he never gets up on his days off.
