The dissertation looks at the way disabled people perceive the world and space around. The research in this area reveals needs that inspire and influence the design of the objects they use daily. The focused group is people with limited vision or complete visual impairment, who need to deal with daily tasks as independent as possible. The dissertation examines substantial aspects about the life and the abilities of visually impaired people. Qualitative method is used and the dissertation consists of the theoretical literature research stage and the product design stage. Findings show that the perception of visual impaired people is being adjusted, as a physical tendency of human body that takes advantage of the other senses. Tools and products are necessary to support this adaptation. The kitchen is an area where inadequacy exists. There are deficits that are obstacles for visually impaired in everyday life. Using them and their emerged specifications, a custom made kitchen model is developed that promotes the safety and the Independency through simple,essential adjustments in design.
