Heat Sensitive Product Refinement

I'm pretty happy with the form that the heat sensitive travel cup has
taken and have been focusing more on the form of the spoon. The first
photo indicates the direction I'm heading in with that and slight
refinement in terms of the end of the spoon. Prehaps have a
retractable feature with the angle cap detailing extending to create a
longer spoon. I even had a suggestion that the end of the spoon could
be feature a carabina style end which could hook onto the handle of
the cup or to a small hole through the right hand side since the right
most edge of the cup will be solid plastic.

I've also been doing further research into the type of material that
the products will be made out of and the possibility of pushing the
limits of this material for future uses. The next step is basically
getting into the workshop and refining sizes and dimensions as a
physical model will really help to establish this.

Still open to changes and suggestions so feel free to comment away!

  1. Steph, I'm assuming that the travel cup and spoon are part of the same set? Maybe make the detailing of the spoon tie in stronger with the form of the cup. You should also investigate into the ergonomics. I find the hole where you hug fingers around seem too small or the cup seems too large. Also maybe grooves/indents for fingers?
