Dig In – Jewelry Objects for Contemporary Dining Culture reinvents traditional eating utensils, inviting users to actively engage in the design process. Each meticulously crafted piece is made from 925 silver, ensuring personalized functionality and durability while evoking nostalgia for bygone customs. The radical finger attachments offer an innovative solution akin to finger prostheses or adapters, custom-tailored to fit the user’s hand. Connected to the corresponding fingers of the right hand via two rings per thumb and index finger, these finger sticks seamlessly integrate into the hand’s natural movements. Featuring rounded surfaces with chamfered edges, they mimic the act of grasping, making them comfortable to use during meals without impeding the movement of other fingers. Their design allows for flexible use on the plate and ensures comfort while in the mouth. Dig In – Jewelry Objects for Contemporary Dining Culture explores three pathways for cutlery evolution: revitalizing traditional practices, blurring the lines between adornment and utility, and deepening the connection between user and object. In a world influenced by changing eating habits and global cuisines, Dig In encourages viewers to reconsider traditional utensil forms, prioritizing sensory perception and tactile experience to enhance meal enjoyment.
The finger attachments pair perfectly with the Dig In – hand plate but have to be purchased individually.
