Humain Projects

Humain – an inclusive coffee cup system

A rethought coffee experience supporting ageing and ability.

Designed for people with rheumatoid arthritis. With modular handles, ergonomic form, and research-driven design, it restores dignity and ritual while supporting ageing in place without stigma.

Humainprojects, based in Vienna, explores sociology, design, and critical research through an inclusive, research-driven approach. Blending speculative design, fieldwork, and inquiry, we ask: Who is included? Which systems are reproduced? How can design foster new ways of thinking and acting? In partnership with communities and institutions, we create reflective, accessible projects grounded in lived experience.
