Spoon is a single use pregnancy test designed for home use. The form takes inspiration from a spoon, with small soft shapes and a wider surface for the handle area. All edges are rounded to give a friendly look, as the test is used in a private and emotional moment. The grip area is tilted and enlarged for better ergonomics and intuitive use. Spoon measures 130 x 25 x 10 millimeters and weighs 14 grams. The body is made of injected bioplastic to reduce the carbon footprint, and the thickness of each component is calibrated to save material.
