Rotary kettle

The rotary kettle is designed by Adrian Lim, design student at Swinburne University of Technology and caters to people with impaired hand strength and control, struggling to operate regular tea kettles that normally require the pick-up and pour method of operation. The kettle was designed specifically through the Universal Design guidelines to reduce the effort needed during its operation, requiring only a simple rotation of the kettle body to pour boiled water. Not only people with hand injuries, osteoarthritis or Carpel Tunnel Syndrome will find the rotary kettle very useful, but its design and features may certainly attract attention from the mainstream consumer.
