We spoke with Mobilegs' designer, Jeff Weber, about the role of design in the products we use. Here's what he had to say...
Why is design important for consumer products?
Jeff Weber, designer of Mobilegs Crutches |
When using a product, we should be almost unaware of its existence. Comfort is the absence of awareness. The less aware we are of the device we’re using, the better. And, the more likely we are to select the well-designed product over one that is inferior.
Consumers want a good product, and deserve to be given that choice.
What is most essential to successful product design?
Empathy is the key to good design. It requires a total understanding of the needs of the people you are design for. This user-centric point of view is critical in improving the design of any product.
The designer must understand the user’s pain, frustration, joy, and physical and emotional well-being. There should always be a human benefit associated with product design – it’s about the experience, stimulating a person’s senses in a positive or beneficial way
Armed with that information, a designer can begin to construct a good product. It is a blend of art and science – using them in combination to positively impact how people live or work.
What has inspired your work and career?
The human body is a constant source of inspiration for me. Comfort and health are like love and peace – they go together and we can really never have enough. Throughout my career, I’ve set out to produce things that will improve the human experience.

Emotional abuse therapist near me finds a way to make me feel comfortable and confident in every session. All sessions are relaxed but, and in her own words, she plays the “devil’s advocate” when she has to, so she doesn’t say what I need to hear or agrees to everything I say. She’s been able to help me manage my stress and anxiety problems, I’m very satisfied with her sessions and I would totally recommend her.
