About Spoon Kipimo cha Ujauzito

Spoon ni kipimo cha ujauzito cha matumizi ya mara moja kilichoundwa kwa ajili ya matumizi ya nyumbani. Umbo lake linapata msukumo kutoka kwa kijiko, likiwa na maumbo laini madogo na uso mpana zaidi kwenye eneo la mpini. Kingo zote zimerundikwa kuwa na mviringo ili kutoa mwonekano wa kirafiki, kwa kuwa kipimo hiki hutumika katika wakati wa faragha na wa kihisia. Eneo la kushikilia limeinamishwa na kupanuliwa ili kuboresha ustahimilivu wa mwili (ergonomics) na urahisi wa matumizi. Spoon ina vipimo vya milimita 130 x 25 x 10 na uzito wa gramu 14. Mwili wake umetengenezwa kwa bioplastiki iliyodungwa (injected bioplastic) ili kupunguza athari za kaboni, na unene wa kila sehemu umepimwa kwa usahihi ili kuokoa malighafi.
