Mobility, simply defined as the ability to move oneself or objects freely within a space, is taken for granted in countless societies. Despite being a fundamental human right, mobility depends on resources such as money, tools, and access to technology. As a result, mobility as a topic can become incredibly complex. 

In an attempt to mediate some of this complexity, we tried to make mobility accessible to as many people as possible through the development of “Frame For All”; a universal mobility tool which can be converted into a variety of different commodities such as a load carrier, display table, shelter, or even a camping bed. Our aim with Frame For All is to fulfil a greater variety of mobility needs, regardless of social status, condition, or location.

Just as our project aims to serve a human’s most basic mobility needs, the manufacturing and design was kept as simple as possible, making Frame For All cost efficient and relatively self-explanatory. Each frame kit consists of bent and anodized aluminium tubes, cast aluminium connectors, and rugged pneumatic tires. A variety of possible applications have been illustrated in a pictorial manual, further improving the accessibility of our product.

As we believe it is more important than ever to consider sustainable manufacturing and the afterlife of industrial products, we chose aluminium as the system's main material. Aluminium is relatively simple to manufacture and allows for mono-material recycling opportunities. Each individual part comes complete with a unique identification code, which provides information about its composition and surface treatment when scanned. This allows recycling companies to separate and process the used materials accordingly. With this, we hope to close the material cycle and progress towards a more transparent and sustainable future. Frame For All is establishing a mobility baseline with global impact.
