We were given a very open school project and all we got was the word 'a meal'. I chose to look at food in the future. This got me to look into the term 'eat seasonally'. Some people think this is a solution to lower CO2. Another way of getting more out of our food is to boil it in a soup. This way you get all the vitamins and goodies from the ingredients. I chose to work with the winter meal.
The requirements:
- The pot where the soup is cooked in is also the pot the soup is served in.
- A clear relationship between the pot, bowl and ladle.
Sketches
Top Left: Ladle Details
The ladle should be able to gang on the pot. This way it won't sink down in the soup and the user wont have to lay on the table.
Top Right: Pot Details
The ladle should be able to hang on the pot with the top on. Therefore there should be a little hatch in the lid. The lid should be able to hang on the side of the pot so you doesn't have to lay it on the table. The pot's foot will also could be used for a pan.
The relationships'' details will be color, materials and visible bolts.
I choose a simple stackable form for the bowl. The foot can be used in two ways. The foot will only be high enough to give the bowl an unique look, but without give the user a fear for getting hot soup all over the table.
