THE STORY
A DAILY PAIN, A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME IDEA
We spend 113,760 minutes of our lives brushing our teeth. For those living with dexterity challenges, this activity is a daily pain. Unable to easily use today’s toothbrushes, they’re forced to hack products themselves. So, we co-created a solution with those living with dexterity challenges, learning about their needs and desires through Makers Labs – all to help us create a truly personal approach to accessible oral care.
ADAPTING TO THE FUTURE
{access}ories are bespoke adaptive add-ons that can be applied to an Ordo toothbrush. Customers personalise their handles through an easy-to-use digital platform – receiving one of the 270 unique handle designs that best addresses the needs that come with their condition.
A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ONE SOLUTION, AT SCALE
After a successful beta phase, we partnered with Batch.Works, and Ordo to release {access}ories to the world. With Ordo’s Direct to Customer model, and Batch.Work’s circular manufacturing technology, we’re challenging typical manufacturing processes by designing on demand – and having a positive impact for people, planet, and profit.
ACCESSIBLE AND DESIRABLE
{access}ories proves that it’s possible to produce innovative solutions that are low-cost, hyper-personalised, and without compromise. With huge recognition from Dezeen, Fast Company, Design Week and a shortlist at Cannes Lions 2023. TIME magazine has also given {access}ories a Special Mention as one the Best Inventions of 2023. To summarise with the words from one of the first makers — “this will make a huge difference.”
