Slow Down
​
'Slow Down' is a set of cutlery designed to make diners come closer’ to their food and experience eating in a slower manner.
Inspired by primitive tools used for handling food, incorporating modern cutlery features.
Individuals hold and use cutlery in their own personal way. This set of cutlery is designed to invite users to hold it differently.
Indentations on the surface of each piece aim to direct the user to hold them in a specific way, putting the diners out of their comfort zone while eating. This helps slow down the process of eating.
Designed to be made in sterling silver, with a brushed texture on the handles and a polished finish on the bowl, tines and blade.
​
The design for the set of cutlery was awarded first place in the Contemporary Cutlery Design Competition by the Cutlers' Company in 2022.

Materials: Sterling silver, stainles steel.
