# Spoon-Helping Salvers The Oi Bowl Enables Single-Handed Scooping to Make the Most of Each Serving By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-12-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oi-bowl References: [red-dot.sg](http://www.red-dot.sg/en/online-exhibition/concept/?code=954&y=2013&c=7&a=0) When it comes down to those last few bites of your meal, it can be really tricky to get a good heaping spoonful without the help of another piece of cutlery in the other hand. The Oi Bowl has been designed so that you can chow down with [one set of fingers free](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tactil) -- an idea that caters to multitaskers and those with the use of one arm. Duane Lye Dun Wei's innovative dish is a reworked version of a [deep plate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-serving-dish) that's quite sculptural in form. On one side of the inside, the material curls up and back in, allowing you to scoop your [fork or your chopsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finger-lickin-2) against it to pack your rice on top. The Oil Bowl is counterbalanced with a weight that's embedded in the base. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Single-handed Scooping:** Single-handed scooping tools and utensils for people with disabilities or those who desire to multitask while eating. - **Innovative Tableware:** Redesign of traditional plates, bowls, and utensils for better functionality and aesthetics. - **Weighted Tableware:** Tableware with built-in counterweights to improve stability and ease of use for people with disabilities. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Kitchenware:** Innovative solutions in kitchenware and dining equipment. - **Assistive Technology:** Technology and products designed to aid people with physical disabilities or impairments in daily tasks like eating. - **Industrial Design:** Innovative product design solutions that cater to unique and specific consumer needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mess-Avoiding Dipping Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dipidup.md) - [Hand-Shaped Forks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finger-lickin-fork.md) - [Cup-Integrated Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pairingware.md) - [Multi-Functional Pasta Spoons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-pasta-spoon.md) - [Multi-Functional Food Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-food-container.md) - [Creative Dipping Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-sea.md) - [Speculative Cutlery Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evolving-spoon.md) - [Interactive Mealtime Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platoo-interactive-sensory-meal-plate.md) - [Human Hand-Resembling Forks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finger-lickin-2.md)
