ABOUT ENVY COMFORT
Born from Experience. Developed with a Clear Purpose.
Envy Comfort began with a simple question from Max Birkelund:
Why should a short break mean having to leave your wheelchair?
Many years of daily experience as a manual wheelchair user turned that question into a concrete idea – and later into Envy Comfort.
The Need Existed. The Solution Did Not.
After decades as a wheelchair user, Max knew the practical reality of spending long days in a manual wheelchair. Transfers to a sofa or bed for a short break gradually became more demanding – particularly as the strain on his shoulders increased. He therefore looked for a solution that would make it possible to rest, change position and continue the day without first having to transfer out of the wheelchair.
When he could not find such a solution, he decided to develop it himself.
Experience Shaped into Function.
Max Birkelund, the man behind the idea for Envy Comfort, has many years of experience with cars, vehicle adaptations and product development – as well as decades of personal experience as a wheelchair user.
The combination of practical engineering thinking and his own user experiences has shaped the development process: Prototypes have been tested, refined and rebuilt around a very specific everyday need.
The result is a product developed around the person who will use it – with a strong focus on function, independence, comfort and a design that fits naturally into everyday life.
The Goal Is Not to Sit Better.
It Is to Live Better.
Envy Comfort. Developed with Experience Behind It.
Envy Comfort is developed by AutoMax ApS in Denmark. With many years of experience in mobility and assistive devices, AutoMax provides the foundation for its development – while Envy Comfort has been created as an independent universe focused on comfort, design and quality of life.
