About Eleware Joc de vaixella

Eleware és un joc de vaixella dissenyat per al menjar modern a la Xina. El conjunt respon a la manera com l'etiqueta tradicional del menjar va canviant amb el temps. Eleware inclou tres peces amb formes diferenciades. El plat per als ossos té una alçada més gran que amaga la cara i els ossos quan aquests s'escupen. El plat per al menjar té un fons inclinat que ajuda a filtrar l'oli dels aliments. El bol segueix la mateixa corba que una tassa de te, de manera que la sopa es pot gaudir com si fos te. Les peces estan fetes d'argila i modelades amb la tècnica del torn.

Unique Properties: Because of the globalization, influenced by different cultures, the traditional Chinese dining etiquette is changing through times. Eleware is a set of tableware combining current modern dining culture of China and design together to make dining process more elegant and less embarrassing.

Design Challenge: The hardest part of Eleware is the process of evaluation and getting feedback from different users. As different people have different feelings and opinions, it's hard to decide the right suggestions for me. The solution is to ask more questions to find the reasons behind the suggestions and evaluate the shape based on those reasons
Research: Questionnaires, Participants or Experiments, Fly-on-the-Wall Observation, Interview, Prototyping, Photo Studies, Design Ethnography
Inspiration: This project was inspired by the culture and ritual in tableware design and how it's influencing the shape of culinary. As traditional culture and ritual are changing over time, the shape of the tableware should also change to fit the current cultural environment and make dining process less embarrassing.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2017 in China and finished in August 2018 in China
Operation Flow: It has three functions. The bone plate can hide your face and bones when spitting out bones. The food plate can filter out oil by the inclined bottom. The bowl has the same curve as teacups to make people enjoy their soup like tea.
