Filed under: Rehab

Industrial design student Hans Alexander Huseklepp came up with an attractive look for a prosthetic arm. In the work, titled "Immaculate", Huseklepp conceptualizes using lightweight materials and technology of the future to create beautiful shapes. According to PlayMeDesign blog, the artist introduces the "eyewear" philosophy:
