Seniors Keeper

Seniors Keeper is a smart door lock designed for elderly people living alone. The lock connects to vital signs sensing devices such as smartwatches. When an emergency is detected at home, the lock emits red light, projects a call for help, notifies emergency contacts and opens the door automatically. Neighbours or rescue workers can then speak with the resident through the microphone and speaker built into the lock. A motor drives the lock core, so the door can be opened even when it is locked from the inside. The lock has a diameter of 70 mm and a height of 50 mm.

Una Corda

Una Corda is an acoustic piano built without a furniture case. The open design allows the sound to travel freely to the listener. The instrument has one string per note, a stainless steel frame and a double-layer soundboard. The stainless steel frame keeps the piano light, unlike the cast iron frames used in traditional pianos. The resulting tone is soft and clear. Una Corda is played like a traditional piano, and the visible mechanical parts show how each note is produced. The piano is hand-crafted and no chemicals are used.
