Big Foot Wheelchair
I really like this wheelchair design by Wai Lam. Made from form molded materials, the silhouette looks like a person sitting down. Wai Lam lights to make light of what many people view as detrimental by infusing a bit of humor into his designs. He also wanted to create something more organic and pleasing to the eye, not the usual chaos of metal clinging to the body. I’d say he did a good job.

You may hate the look of a tubular frame but they don’t trap heat like this one would.

Indeed very nice effort in designing a new look for Wheelchair. Trapping heat might be an issue, but what one is ready to do to look pretty (wearing fancy shoes, less comfortable than other shoes), one might want to do it driving a wheelchair.

As the above said. It would likely trap heat terribly and would wreak havoc on the back, but those are easy solutions: First, perforate it. Add in a bunch of holes an perhaps use similarly colored fabric circles or strips to cover them up while maintaining the comfort. Second is to raise the back…of course.
