Dining in 2015 was a competition held by Design Boom and Macef, Milano. The theme was to design kitchenware, tableware and dining utensils the designers could envision people using in 2015.
The shortlist of the competition is now out and one of my favorite pieces was “Fragile”, designed by Mey Kahn and Boaz Kahn from Israel.
The ceramic salt and pepper shaker comes in one piece and by braking it you make it useful.
When was the last time you emphatically broke somthing? The ceramic salt and pepper shaker offers you the opportunity to do it! The product comes in one piece and by breaking it, you make it useful. Breaking is an experience of impulsive outburst, But this time is an act that builds rather than destroys. In a world of products whose shape is completely dictated by the designer, we enable the user to complete the design himself. The event of the breaking leaves its mark on the shaker and gives it its final, unique, one-of-a-kind appearance.
