The Idea
Plate set created for people with arthritis. Based on their needs for more comfortable plates. Changing the high, grasp area and shape, using nature as inspiration.

Tubular handle has better grip
Straight edges interfere with ergonomics
The hand has to twist to grab the handle, creating tension on the arm
The plate is inclined due to the lack of space between the table and the edge of the plate.
The Requirements
Ergonomic, Functional, Esthetic, Discreate, Affordable, Inclusive

The Prototype
Based on the Calla Lily flower, I started to design a handle with multiple grip points. The plate is shaped like a leaf and its organic form allows us to grave it from different points and ways.
