Back to the table is a collection of tableware designed to enhance the experience of the solo meal. The products, thanks to their sinuous and unconventional shapes, encourage the user into a creative and careful plating. This projects aims to tackle the negative perception of the consumption of a meal alone, experienced by millennial, and the consecutive progressive lack of motivation and interest in cooking. Opposite to communal feasts, where preparing and eating are regarded as a pleasant activity, consuming a meal in the privacy of one’s own apartment is often a very brief and empty moment, carried out without commitment and as fast as possible This leads to a worse perception of the eaten food and eventually even a poorer nutrition. Taking advantage of the huge effect that the visual aspect of food can have in the perception of it and in boosting the motivation, the collection nudges the user into rethinking his usual meal and pay more attention to what he will be eating. Organic volumes and curves are used to create new surfaces and define different areas to inspire and guide towards experimenting with the plating of food in always different ways. The product was ideated thinking of the massive presence of pictures of meals on social media and the rising of the concept of “instagrammable food” among the young generation. Taking advantage of this trend, Back to the table can be the tool for the user to create something to be proud of.
