My favourite find



Without a doubt my favourite set of cutlery to date, the shiney material, the depth, the way the spoon and fork curv and the way they are practically the same except the fork has a few cut outs, as youve seen from my previous initial sketches and slightly more developed sketches, this is where i was heading, though not entierly where i was going, the tips i would change, the knife though interesting is not what im trying to aim for, though the angle seems like it would help a smal child cut with less motor skills, its not what im attempting to create.

Currently ive been researching toddlers hands, thier capabilities and what size i want the set to be, i want the fork about a third longer than the rest, the spoon and fork will be pretty similar, though im still working on the cuts, what angle shape and length i want them to be.
the size though, i need to have a better understanding if this was a real product id need to know all sizes and demnisions, though they would be approximite, i want to develop them.
currently unncessary but once i begin using 3dstudiomax a little more and begin to develo and design my cutlery using that 3d software, i believe approx demnisions could come in handy.

I researched kids tv shows and toys, looking at classic and popular icons, that would make a child wish to eat with this particular cutlery set more so than an average set. however unlike many of the examples ive given, i didnt want my set to be primarily a character merchandise, that was just an added feature, i didnt want it over bearing or interferring either, like the moulded character heads or grooves shown previously. this is a perfect example of where im heading.

above i gave the example of the plain set, simpley so you could notice the detail and features more accuratly, however with a simple character rpint, the whole set ebcomes more child freindly (shown below) im primarily designing a set like the one above, and the character will be an added feature and not over bearing. similar to the winnie the pook designed one below.

by far my favourite find. very inspirational.
