The Design

About Spoon Teste de Gravidez

Spoon é um teste de gravidez de uso único, concebido para utilização doméstica. A forma inspira-se numa colher, com pequenos volumes suaves e uma superfície mais larga na zona do cabo. Todas as arestas são arredondadas para conferir um aspeto acolhedor, uma vez que o teste é utilizado num momento íntimo e emotivo. A área de preensão é inclinada e ampliada para melhor ergonomia e uso intuitivo. Spoon mede 130 x 25 x 10 milímetros e pesa 14 gramas. O corpo é fabricado em bioplástico injetado para reduzir a pegada de carbono, e a espessura de cada componente é calibrada para poupar material.
