is a basin dedicated to elderly to simplify the feet cleaning.
The shape and material research focuses on the difficulties lived daily by elderly (painful movements, instability and trembling, etc) but especially to avoid the psychological impact of these troubles.
Hygiene, an intimate relationship between body and being, is closely related to the self-esteem. Most of the tools made for seniors are seen as tools for handicapped, which adds to the discomfort.
The dependancy to the caregivers trespasses this intimacy in such way that all self-esteem is lost.
Silver Hair aims to maintain the autonomy and dignity of elderly while reconciling them with the cleansing ritual and with their own body.
