James Cadogan, a 3 Dimensional Design student from the University College Falmouth, has designed a ruler, "Bamboolarule".

Inspired from research into socially inclusive design, the arc of the ruler is inspired by the arthritic problems of the elderly; the ruler solves the problem often experienced by people with poor dexterity when lifting up a ruler from a flat surface.

A sustainably produced, vertically laminated bamboo ruler that arches off the desk lies flat under
light pressure, when not in use, the arc allows fingers underneath to pick it up or
move with ease.
