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. It has three innovative shapes- increasing the height of the plate to hide face and bones when spitting out bones, using inclined bottom to help filter out oil on the food and adopting the same curve as teacups to make people enjoy their soup like tea.

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
