Bringing the home back into school cafeterias which are currently full of unhealthy, quick, processed food choices for children. At a time when parents have a decisive influence over their children's eating habits and behaviours, their influence is being obstructed by the cafeteria food system in schools.

Tactility and influence of cups and bottles

This is a very rough prototype on an idea of how to design cups. What seemed interesting to me was the effect of drinking from different heights and thicknesses.

These were all coke glass products. If I can enjoy coke in this container, then what's stopping me from being able to drink any other liquid from it. It was marketed to be attractive to the touch in the first place!

I found that at the same time, I was enjoying the glass cup and that my idea of enjoying coke for the taste was disappearing.
