Raised indicators from Diva de Provence help visually impaired chefs find burners and controls easily.

At Diva de Provence, a tactile marking kit makes it possible for visually impaired people to have a safer cooking experience with the maker's induction cooktops. “The safety benefits of cooking with induction enables all Americans to enjoy the entire epicurean experience,” says general manager Amir Girgis. “The capacitive touch controls on our cooktops are perfectly suited for integrating tactile markings.” The kit includes options for raised letters or Braille symbols for the controls, as well as a 3M product called Bumpons that outline where the burners are.

In the bath, Jacuzzi has introduced the Finestra walk-in bath. Featuring whirlpool jets and an air-bath feature, the tub provides luxury for those who require a seated bathing experience.
