Graft: Disposable Tableware That Looks Like Vegetables

 Caroline Williamson

We’ve seen this design floating around the internets and we fell in love with it. Project designer and recent graduate from the Masters program at ECAL/Ecole cantonale d’art de Lausanne in Switzerland, Qiyun Deng, designedGraft, a set of disposable tableware that looks like vegetables. The pieces are made from bioplastic PLA, a material that’s usually made from plants.

 

Each utensil and bowl is a reminder that these beautiful parts of nature that are full of texture and form can be utilized for another purpose – a celery stem works as the handle for a fork, petals from an artichoke become a spoon.
 

From the designer:

By waking both visual and haptic sensation it brings along a question: Will you throw them away easily?
