This Walking Cane Also Hooks Bags and Grips Tables With a Hidden Ring - Yanko Design

"Every day balance moments don't usually look dramatic. Standing up from a low chair after a long meal, stepping off a curb while carrying bags, and steadying yourself in a narrow hallway without anything to grab are the small transitions that feel minor until they don't. Safety gear tends to be designed for bigger problems, but the real friction lives in these frequent, unremarkable moments that add up over the course of a day."

"As a cane, the handle shape does a lot of quiet work. The large grip opening and soft, rounded edges allow different hand sizes and grip styles, so it doesn't demand a precise hold. That gentler geometry reduces pressure on arthritic or tired hands, and the clean, non-clinical look means it's the kind of thing you'd keep by the door or beside a chair rather than hiding it away, which matters more than most cane designers seem to realize."

"Carrying bags while walking is one of those everyday tasks that throws off balance in ways that accumulate slowly. The built-in hook function lets SafeGrip carry shopping loads, taking the pull off the wrist and keeping the user steadier. At a doorway, elevator, or checkout counter, having the bags on the cane instead of dangling from a hand changes how the body distributes weight, even slightly, which counts when stability is already a concern."

SafeGrip is a modular safety handle designed to address frequent, low-drama balance challenges in daily life. The device transforms into a walking cane, a carry hook, and a furniture anchor to match momentary needs. The cane geometry features a large grip opening and soft, rounded edges that accommodate varied hand sizes, reduce pressure on arthritic or tired hands, and encourage visible placement rather than concealment. The integrated hook offloads shopping weight from the wrist to improve steadiness while walking. A mechanical retractable ring allows secure anchoring to tables or chairs for added support, and the aesthetic is intentionally non-clinical to promote regular use.
