How :
To design a tangible product which improves physical ergonomics of a “ Tea Vendor at Railway Stations ”.
There have been no attempts made to improve the experience related to the existing Tea Canister rather there have been attempts to change the Canister itself.




Research Phase

Problem  Identification
1. One of the hand is engaged all the time because of the cups/money.
2. The canister has a steel handle which hurts.
3. Bad posture while pouring tea.
4. Difficulty while returning change of money.
5. The canister sometimes slips off his legs while pouring the tea.

With the three-point pressure method (distributing the load across the hip, shoulder and back), pressure on the lower back can be reduced, thus keeping tea vendors from developing the wrong posture.
