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.
