CR1
The CR1 is a carbon fiber wheelchair that is fully customizable to the user's individual specifications and preferences. The unique, dual-angle front end was designed to follow the lines of the user's body, allowing them to get closer to objects for improved accessibility and maneuverability in tight spaces. The aerodynamic tube profile and its orientation were designed to improve strength, user comfort in areas contacting the body and aesthetically to promote a sense of speed. The dual-purpose sideguards provide protection to the user while acting as a structural member for support.
CR1 Wheelchair by Doug Garven has been recognized as an innovative representation of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. CR1 Wheelchair won the Golden A' Design Award in Product Engineering and Technical Design in 2024. The A' Product Engineering and Technical Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design accolade that rewards outstanding design of blueprints, prototypes, schematics, CAD models, technical drawings, machine designs, electronic systems, structural plans and more.
