If you were a design professor, what grade would you give this? Snactiv, a sort of wearable set of chopsticks, is a ridiculous concept–but I can’t deny it solves the “problem” its target users face.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
At press time Snactiv’s Kickstarter campaign had mere hours left, but had been successfully funded with $40,541 in pledges on a $20,000 goal.
I believe this product would go over well in America and Asia, but not Europe, where eating is more of a standalone activity conducted in a group and with dignity. I remember eating a meal in the home of a Roman family as a young man, and using a piece of bread to sop up the sauce on my plate; “Per favore–fa brutta,” the hostess whispered to me. (“Please don’t do that, it’s brutish/ugly.”)
I’d be very curious, in particular, to hear opinions of the Snactiv from the Italians or the French. This thing might get an “A” at Pratt and an “F” at Domus.
