Upron

A dual purpose apron

The “Upron” both provides assistance in lifting heavy cooking pots and protects its wearer from the heat of the pot. It was designed by myself and another designer by thoroughly researching the physical process of lifting an building models to address the challenges presented by this daily operation.

Since the apron is intended for people who have difficulty lifting pots, we decided to collaborate with my grandmother who is elderly and not physically strong. Her feedback was crucial to the success of our progress and the final product.

The decision to improve the safety and protective function of the apron was made during the design progress. We examined a number of options for buffering and removing the hot pot from the body. Finally we used silicon to create a surface that resists absorption or penetration of liquids.
