About the solution
OXO is dedicated to creating user-friendly kitchen and household products that have redefined how people interact with everyday objects. Founded by Sam Farber, OXO's central mission is to enhance the lives of individuals of all abilities by making daily tasks more manageable.
Its core philosophy revolves around inclusive design. Their products are thoughtfully created to be accessible and practical for as many people as possible, regardless of age or physical abilities. Although OXO products are not explicitly marketed as assistive devices, they often serve as valuable tools for individuals with various physical challenges. OXO is well-known for its ergonomic product design. Each product is designed to be not only functional but also comfortable to use. Handles are cushioned, textured, and expertly shaped to fit naturally in the hand, reducing strain and discomfort during use. This ergonomic approach is particularly beneficial for individuals with arthritis or limited dexterity, making daily tasks more manageable and enjoyable.
Many OXO products are favored by individuals with various mobility challenges because the product line includes numerous items that help individuals perform daily tasks more independently. Each item is crafted from high-quality, durable materials, ensuring they can withstand regular use. This durability guarantees that these tools can remain part of a household for years, serving as reliable aids for individuals who rely on them.
OXO is not just a company that designs kitchen and household products; it is a pioneering force in creating innovative, inclusive, and ergonomic solutions for daily life. By prioritizing user comfort, convenience, and accessibility, OXO has made a significant impact on the lives of individuals with a wide range of abilities. Their products empower users to perform everyday tasks with greater ease and independence, exemplifying their commitment to "Tools for Living."
