We attended our first occupational therapy show in 2019 and the reaction to our Kettle was phenomenal. The show was held at the NEC Birmingham, UK and we went alongside our good friends and partners, Able2 UK.
Able2 UK provide a wide range of products that help improve the level of independence for people both inside and outside the home (this includes our Uccello Kettle).
It was our first time showcasing the Uccello Kettle at an event that was specifically geared towards occupational therapists. It was an OT show in the UK and the feedback we received was amazing.
Occupational Therapists:
They are healthcare professionals that assess and treat physical and psychological conditions in their patients to help them maximize their levels of independence in everyday life.
They were excited to finally see a product that looked good as well as functioned safely. Many of them compared our Uccello Kettle to the old kettle tippers.
We’ve spoken with occupational therapists before in various countries and gifted a number of our kettles to them for feedback. We’ve received feedback from both, themselves and their patients. Rachel Ross – a hand therapy occupational therapist had to say…
Its funky design has certainly caught our patients’ eye and the unique pouring function is a safe, ergonomic way for people to pour hot water – even those without a hand injury or condition!
We are happy to recommend this product to anyone
Providing products that are elegant, stylish, and reliable
Our companies’ vision has always been to provide products that are elegant, stylish as well as reliable, functional, and safe.
Too often we see products that are designed for those with limited strength (which is great). However, they look like they only belong in a nursing home or a hospital. To us, this isn’t the way.
Uccello Kettle – A great alternative to the average kettle or kettle tippers
When diagnosed with a disease like Parkinson’s or Arthritis, completing daily tasks safely and with ease can be difficult. Independence can be shaken and pride can be knocked.
At Uccello Designs, we strongly believe that our kettle doesn’t show or advertise anything that might point towards someone with a disability. Our kettle is a great alternative to the average kettle or various kettle tippers out there today. Those who use our kettle claim back some of their independence in the kitchen. Along with its sleek style, they can also benefit from the safety elements. It’s a win, win.
Attending the show was a valuable and educational experience for us. We spoke with occupational therapists about the trials and tribulations involved in finding the right products. Products that help bring independence to their patients.
From this, we found the overall theme of the occupational therapy show was the modern look that doesn’t scream disability. This is something we know a thing or two about and are happy to help pave the way.
Thank you
