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

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.
