Experience Enrichment


Conventional salad tossers usually come in a set of two. This takes up room in the kitchen draws when stored away. This makes it difficult for potential consumers because of the amount of room it takes up and how this does not allow enough space for other utensils. Also when looking for salad tossers in the kitchen draw it is bothersome how you have to fiddle around to find both of parts to the utensil. The handles on the salad tossers are either too thin or have a very uncomfortable grip. These minor problems affect the usage of the salad tossers and it makes it quite strenuous to just make a salad.
The salad tosser that I have created is a two in one. It saves space on the table and in the kitchen draws when you store them away. It is easily found in the kitchen draw because the parts fit together. The colour of the salad tossers makes the design look more modern and sleek. This makes it aesthetically pleasurable appealing to the eye of the consumer. The shape of the salad tossers are ergonomically suited to hold in your hands while serving up a delicious salad.  The curve at the end of the salad tosser creates a nice hold and grip. Due to this curve your hand fits comfortably in place while the product is in use. The fork like design creates balance and its purpose is to allow the salad to be picked up easily and efficiently. This fork like design was suitable and acceptable to its usage purposes after the conduction of tests.
The materials that are used in the design would be either plastic, bamboo, or wood. This would create variations of the product which can appeal to different consumers in the market.

  1. Found the 2 in 1 design very interesting and the use of light furo colour is very attractive, it would be a good product during a family afternoon gathering.

  2. I love the concept of this design. Its interesting and quirky yet very functional. It would also look great if it was made from bamboo. When i interacted with these salad servers i found them to be ergonomic to hold, and also fun to use like a jig saw puzzle when you recombine them.

  3. The idea is very interesting and brings fun and enjoyment to the task of salad tossing.
    Your design may be improved however by changing the shape to be more eyecatching and tempting to hold perhaps?

  4. interesting space saving concept. I like the playfulness of the shape and the way that it fits together. Is there a way to make them stay together in storage, or is that a purely aesthetic appeal? also i feel some more ribbing in the negative space would be necessary for smaller salad items like olives?
    unique and fun though.

  6. i think to improve this design you could make the material a little bit thinner where the handle is. that would make it more ergonomic.
