tiffin lunch kit

description

This work in progress is an experiment in mobile eating. The project started out of a desire to challenge what an 'on-the-go' dining experience was, and to explore a new medium and making process, ceramics and slip casting.

Essentially, the bowls were designed to accommodate common lunch combinations, soup and sandwich, fruit and a bagel, etc. Having the two bowls stack vertically allowed there to be a partition between the different foods. A lid and latch keeps the ceramic components sealed tight, and allows the bowls to be carried.

Having designed a model of the bowls in a CAD software, the bowls were then outputted to a CNC router, where the shapes were subtracted out of foam, and used to make plaster moulds.
