The 'Eatsy' tableware is a collection of items created to adapt to the needs of those with visual impairments by helping them to more easily and intuitively access foods. The collection includes a bowl, plate, cup and utensils that are all accented with silicone details in order to accommodate a more sensory user experience. This will enable users to pour liquids into a cup without spillage, scoop food in a plate and even keep utensils balanced on the side to prevent them from slipping out of their reach.
The 'Eatsy' tableware is the design work of Jexter Lim, and accommodates users who are left-handed or right handed and boasts a distinctly simple aesthetic that could be implemented in restaurants and homes alike.
