The majority of objects are designed based on male standards and are therefore unsuitable for women.
This issue translates into objects that discriminate against female users, being uncomfortable and even dangerous.
This is especially evident in personal protective equipment (masks, glasses, protective clothing and shoes), where improper fit reduces protection, hinders tasks, and can even cause injuries.
WWW are work trousers designed by and for women that aim to fill this gender gap. They are specifically designed for female woodworkers (carpenters, cabinetmakers etc.). These trousers offer a new aesthetic and provide comfort, adaptability, flexibility and of course protection.
