The tableware set kwer makes (no) difference. It is designed for young and old, for people with and without disabilities. kwer means independence when eating. 

kwer is based on the needs of people for whom eating with conventional tableware is a challenge. Whether due to a physical disability or a congenital condition—we all want to eat independently, without relying on assistance. 

The design was developed through a participatory process involving people with disabilities and healthcare professionals. The goal is to prevent stigmatisation. 

With its sloped surface, raised rim and non-slip base, the tableware set allows for easier handling. The shape and choice of durable materials prioritise user-friendliness and longevity.
kwer is not just an aid but a stylish everyday product that paves the way for a more inclusive society.
