A major home furnishings retailer is introducing a new line of products, BÄSINGEN, designed to make life easier for people with disabilities. BÄSINGEN is an inclusive design for the many, consisting of six products designed for convenient support in the bathroom and throughout the rest of the home. The products in the BÄSINGEN series have multi-functional purposes. They are sturdy and the non-slippery feet and holes for drainage make them a great solution to use in bathrooms. What is the name of this major home furnishings retailer?


Answer: IKEA

This Week's Trivia Question: 


This assistive technology device was invented in 1898 by Miller Reese Hutchison. His design used an electric current to amplify weak signals. He called it the "Akouphone" and it used an electric current to amplify weak sound signals. The design itself was a carbon transmitter, allowing the device to be portable. What is the device?
