Goûte
Some of our most delicious and memorable food experiences often come from eating without cutlery.
Eating with our bare hands, sucking our fingers or even licking a plate are natural behaviours.
We started our design process by 3D-printing a scanned finger, and giving it a handle
From digital technology to traditional crafts
After many failed trials, we found a material and technique with which we could produce a similar shape to the finger. Glass allowed us to find a balance between tactile qualities, visual aesthetics, and production.
We ate everything we came across with it:
honey, creamy chocolate, nut butters
Goûte made the experience of eating creamy foods much more mindful and pleasurable
