LEVATO - the waitress belt
The target of the project was to improve the daily lives of people whose work involves physical activities over a long period of time. It supports the vertebrae
to carry heavy things and enhances the posture in order to reduce the stress put on the lumbar region.
The belt is worn underneath the vest and the upper shoulder straps bring the upper body into the right posture when lifting heavy things.
The belt evenly distributes the weight on the arms and hips.
The self locking structure is enclosed in a bag on the backside of the lower belt.
The shoulder Part is made out of a biodynamic Material to enable free movement.
