The Design

About Spoon Graviditetstest

Spoon er en engangsgraviditetstest designet til hjemmebrug. Formen er inspireret af en ske, med små bløde former og en bredere overflade i håndtagsområdet. Alle kanter er afrundede for at give et venligt udtryk, da testen anvendes i et privat og følelsesladet øjeblik. Grebsområdet er vinklet og forstørret for bedre ergonomi og intuitiv brug. Spoon måler 130 x 25 x 10 millimeter og vejer 14 gram. Kroppen er fremstillet af sprøjtestøbt bioplast for at reducere CO2-aftrykket, og tykkelsen af hver komponent er kalibreret for at spare materiale.
