A set of products for people with physical disabilities, enabling them to paint, draw, or control a display independently using their mouths. The thesis deals with the design of an entire workstation for painters and the development of silicone mouthpieces for various grips in the mouth, which can be used to hold not only writing instruments. The ABLE art set enables independent work and leisure activities that are valuable for self-confidence and a form of art therapy for disadvantaged people, as well as providing relief for their families and assistants. Until now, there is no save and ergonomical product on the market. The author has 9 years experience with disabled artists and the designs were approved by them.
