Frank

Always focusing on design.

Frank, an architect, thrives on the "normal craziness" of his office, his work as an expert appraiser, and his seminar activities. He’s been using a wheelchair since a traffic accident, and when designing accessible buildings, he draws from his own experiences. "Although Germany still lags behind other countries, accessibility is becoming more important in the public sector, and that’s the way it should be," he says. Frank’s Zenit wheelchair is always with him, and he believes it "works best when you hardly notice it." The convenient folding mechanism gives him the flexibility he needs in his busy daily life, whether driving, manoeuvring, or loading.
