An appeal to fund a new caravan accessory has been launched, with the finished product aiming to end small items being lost in the limited space of a caravan or any worktop.

Caravan magazine on FacebookThe Geco Hub, created by Simon Lyons, features an array of customisable discs that part and grip any items placed between them. The product's design has also received praise for ease of use for those with physical disability or visual impairment.

In order for it to be put into production, Simon is crowdsourcing funds to reach a minimum target.

What else does the designer say?

“We tend to drop things on the nearest surface, which then gets cluttered and valuable time is spent hunting for the things we need,” said Simon, who developed his concept whilst studying Product Design Engineering at Loughborough University.

“I wanted a solution that kept important things secure, fitted busy lifestyles and was fun and intuitive to use,” he added.

“Having developed the product with different user groups, I was really pleased to get such an enthusiastic response from the camping, caravan and boat markets.”
