Production Technology
Spoon is made with injected bioplastic, in order to reduce carbon footprint.
Thicknesses of the components has been calibrated in order to save material.

Research
Project started with a detailed market research, supported by a research on materials and production techniques.
User interaction and emotions are key factor in this project, therefore shape had to be friendly and comfortable.
Inspiration
Shapes and name of this project take inspiration by the spoon. Small soft shapes with a wider surface for the handle area.
Friendly, reliable and easy to use, this is how a pregnancy test should look like.
Project Duration
Project started in July 2019 and has been launched on the market in January 2020
Operation Flow
The soft shapes and the wider grip area makes ergonomics very easy and interaction with the product is very intuitive.
