GRIT Blog and Knowledge Base

We remember when the GRIT Freedom Chair was a brainstorming session on a whiteboard, in a long-neglected building in the northwest corner of the MIT campus, in a room we affectionately called the “MIT Mobility Lab.”

We like to think of the GRIT Freedom Chair as the best of beauty and brains: it’s visually appealing and efficiently engineered, and it took years of dedication, multiple prototypes, and a lot of feedback from wheelchair riders to get here.
