First and foremost design and function go hand in hand. Designing an efficient mixer tap is a challenge: it must function as a regular part of your interior making the style match your surroundings and at the same time it is a tool which must ensure that you can easily turn the water on and off many times each day. It should work for you and all other users, both aesthetically and functionally – your whole life. The purpose of the philosophy ”Design for all” is to design physical surroundings and everyday products that give everyone equal opportunities to work and be self-reliant in everyday life. The premise is that we as developers understand how to acquaint ourselves with completely different user needs - and not least that we can convince the manufacturers that it pays off to look into special user needs in order to design for all. - See more at: http://www.inclusivedesign.no/case-studies/damixa-clover-easy-tap-handle-article140-123.html#sthash.JWYoKhT7.dpuf
