Cutlery Set- Universal Design

ABOUT DESIGN:
The Team (Charu Batra, Kushagra, Ishita Gupta) has designed a classy and innovative minimal design product, a CUTLERY SET. Our aim is ‘to make it easier for people to eat by using a steady, easy-grip ergonomic adaptive designed Cutlery’ whose main body is made up of stainless steel with a polypropylene handle of orange color. 


This product is for Arthritis patients- people who are suffering from ‘Hand Arthritis’. Mostly for those, who struggle with holding normal cutlery. Hand Arthritis can cause stiffness, swelling, pain, and deformity. Osteoarthritis at the basilar joint can cause swelling, a bump, and deep aching pain at the base of the thumb. Weakness of grip and pinch can make it hard to open a jar or turn a key for those with Osteoarthritis.


Special Case Scenario- We have discussed this issue with Osteoarthritis patients and have observed and tested our cutlery set. This product design is making them easier for arthritic hands to hold.


This minimal design is aesthetically pleasing whose handle is of orange color, keeping
senior citizens also in the mind. Seniors can use color therapy to boost the energy in any space- Orange is for Appetite. So, the seniors who can't grip cutlery properly can also use this Cutlery set.
