Identification between similar objects, such as coffee cups and salt & pepper shakers, on a dining table becomes virtually difficult for the visually impaired and they have to rely on others for their day-to-day needs. Addressing the issue, Nigerian designer Alafuro Sikoki has come up with a creative set of ceramic tableware under “Contact Series” that comes engraved with Braille fonts so the special users could distinguish between different objects with minimum fuss. Comprising flower vases, mugs, coffee cups and salt & pepper shakers, with raised Braille alphabet bumps on the surface, the Contact Series makes life easy for the visually impaired.
