Bespoke Fairing

The Bespoke Fairing is a mass customized set of parts that restores symmetry and natural contours to an amputee’s body. The process starts with a 3D scan of the surviving leg. With input from the amputee, the parts are customized with various color, material and finish options. Once applied to existing prosthetic limbs, the Bespoke Fairings communicate the users’ sense of style and taste, allowing them to connect with the artificial limb in a personal and emotional way.

“Stunningly beautiful!  This is pure fashion that goes well beyond vanity to be the noblest self-expression for the amputee, evoking only admiration—no pity.” -Davin Stowell, IDSA, IDEA Jury Chair, Founder and CEO Smart Design

No previous IDEA awards.
