普象-让好设计发光

Radically Practical Product SeriesBrief: A series of weekly experiments done for course ‘Creative Strategies’ developed by professor Fridolin Beisert, which helps students develop strategic approaches to creativity.The strategy I used was “Radically Practical”, inspired by one of Nonobjects’ design methodologies. It is a methodology that explores the boundaries of “traditional product thinking” and asks the question: “How practical can a product be?”I chose to redesign two very normal objects that we tend to take for granted:Pasta & Matches

1. Scatola: Radically Practical PastaCan your food be designed more practically? Scatola is 3D printed pasta inspired by that question. The existing experience of eating pasta is not pleasant. Paired with sauce the pasta becomes slippery, picking up with a fork becomes challenging.

Scatola is simply shaped - a cube - an efficient form that affords many use cases. The repetition of squared openings allows for a unique textural eating experience one can almost play and feel with one’s tongue. The evenly spaced openings allow your fork to perfectly fit while also evoking the nostalgia of eating macaroni as a child, fitting them on each prong, oh so satisfying.

Easily fork the pasta at any angle or orientation. 

Perfectly sized for your fork. It doesn't roll away. The openings catch ingredients. And it is conveniently bite sized.

Maximized space packaging: The box nature of Scatola allows for structural integrity, efficient stacking, as well as decreasing wasted space.

"That was cake" MatchHave only one match to do the job of lighting a ton of birthday candles? Wasting 2 minutes of your life? The “That Was Cake” Match allows you to light multiple candles at once so you can just get on with singing Happy Birthday.
