| LUNE is a set of dinnerware that provides an enhanced and more connected dining experience for frail seniors; specifically those who have suffered from stroke and feel culturally disconnected when using standard dinnerware. By creating vessels that are culturally familiar through the forms and symbols, raised to promote better posture, and thermal for keeping food warm, Chinese seniors will be more likely to enjoy their meals in a communal setting.
LUNE will balance post-stroke related eating challenges with maintaining Chinese cultural heritage, which can be subsequently adapted to other cultures as well. With a happier attitude towards meal time, this dignifying dining experience is a new way to encourage a better relationship with meals, and a healthier lifestyle overall. |
