Designed with the intent to become a product of Western and Eastern eating cultures, this 3D-printed utensil utilizes the flexibility of plastic to transform dynamically to the users’ needs.

As a work in progress prototype, the study for an alternative “spork-like” tool was necessitated from a sustainability standpoint in restaurant deliveries and take-outs.

Specifically, it was inspired by my experience with ordering take-out in Chinese restaurants that often included a myriad of utensils that were either unnecessary or didn’t include my preferred eating tool.
