About Spoon Cuchara

Cuchara es un tèst de gravidesa d'usatge unic concebut per l'usatge domestic. La forma s'inspira d'una cuèra, amb formas pichonas e doças e una susfàcia mai larga per la zòna del manche. Totes los bòrds son arredondits per donar un aspècte amistós, tal coma lo tèst es utilizat dins un moment intim e emocional. La zòna de presa es inclinada e agrandida per una melhora ergonomia e un usatge intuitiu. Cuchara mesura 130 x 25 x 10 millimètres e pesa 14 grams. Lo còs es fabricat en bioplastic injectat per reduire l'emprencha carbonica, e l'espessor de cada compausant es calibrat per estalviar de material.
