TOUCHWARE. Designed to be held
Keywords: Culture, Product Design, Ceramics, Tableware
The food and dining culture has undergone significant changes in recent years. The traditional concept of sitting down for three meals a day with family, using plates and cutlery, is becoming outdated. We now live in a snack-centric society, where people often find themselves working during the day and relaxing on the couch in the evening. While our eating habits have evolved, the tableware we use has remained largely unchanged. This raises the question: is our current tableware still fit for purpose? My answer is no. In a world driven by stress and pressure, Touchware is designed to encourage a moment of pause and refocus on mindful eating. The organic shape of this three-piece dinnerware set fits comfortably and lightly in your hand, discouraging you from placing it down mid-meal. This design fosters a deeper engagement of all your senses, enhancing awareness and enriching the dining experience. Crafted with intention, Touchware helps you rediscover the joy of eating in a way that aligns with modern life.
