Transport may be difficult for any of us with the harried lifestyle that is led these days but it would be all the more difficult for those in wheelchairs. Wheelchair users would know how difficult it is to navigate stairs, something most everyone takes for granted.

The Transformable Wheelchair is a concept that transcends the functionality of wheelchairs. Designed by Caspar Schmitz, the wheelchair is made completely from durable polyurethane which is a strong plastic elastic in nature. The most special feature of the wheelchair is the transformation capability of the wheels. The circular structure of the wheels in traditional wheelchairs makes navigation of stairs impossible for wheelchair users. However, the wheels of this concept wheelchair can convert to an ellipsoid structure by applying pressure vertically on the handlebar. This allows the user to wheel himself up the stairs on his own.

The design is extremely inspiring since this would completely change the lifestyle of those who use wheelchairs. It would make individuals feel more self-sufficient and reduce their dependence on others.
