Industrial Design: Improving Personal Mobility Walkers
A stylist and functional improvement to a device that can aid the quality of life of an aging or injuried population.
‘Our mission from the beginning has been to remove the stigma of using walkers,’ says Georgia Williams, CEO of Zeal Lifestyle. ‘We know choosing a mobility aid can be a huge decision, so we wanted to design a walker that customers feel proud to use. It is more than just a mobility aid – it’s a choice of style, identity and independence’.
Williams, a retail designer, and Zeal co-founder Joshua King, an industrial designer, started the company after wanting to purchase a walker for their loved ones and realising how limited and uninspiring the options were. ‘What we found on the market didn’t match their style, and as designers, we knew we could do better,’ writes the duo.

Designer: Maximilian Missoni Moves from Polestar to BMW
The designer of one of the most attractive sedans on the road today has been recruited to lead design at BMW.
Missoni was born in Austria to a family of architects – in his own words, “I have practically grown up with design. As a teenager, I spent a lot of time drawing. It started with boats.” Early on in life, Maximillian was poring over a boat magazine when he noticed a Ferrari concept car in an advertisement for design house Pininfarina. According to Missoni, that’s when he got hooked. He changed tracks to car design, and the rest is history.
