SEPTEMBER AT FORAY DESIGN

We're a Brooklyn company designing tools for people with physical limitations. Our novel rolling walker, Spring , will be available in early 2019.

What We're Doing:

This month we are putting the finishing touches on Spring , working to ensure a top-quality product. At the same time we are in the final planning for our crowdfunding campaign.  If you sign up to pre-order, we will contact you 2-3 weeks before we launch our campaign. At that time you can confirm your order, receive your discount, and make payment.
