  Mobile with Mobili Kit
 
  Dear Sir or Madam,

Turning your favorite chair into an aid – that would be great? Then simply strap it onto the Mobili Kit and you can safely navigate through your home via joystick control. The slim design ensures that this is possible even in the tightest of spaces. Tanya Veraska from Benoit Systemes tells us what other advantages the mobility aid brings in our current interview .

Have a nice week!
