BAD DESIGN
'Bad Design' was a class that focused on understanding the design attributes and properties that make a product or service 'bad'. We knew that such defects are often much less complex than flaws in the mechanisms, or less obvious than aesthetic irregularities, but often attempts at making the product better that prove to be not well worked, or in some cases, overworked. Trisha used this class to investigate and recreate products born in such scenarios.

The 'Opal Spoon' is a' SensoReal
design, inspired by 'Tablewear as SensoReal Stimuli' by Jinhyun J.
has a no-spill mechanism which
encourages raised
storage space along
the length. The
mouth & handle
create a touch
-friendly
experience
through the
bulbous
shape.

An attempt to create a design
inclusive of properties of a fork
and a spoon, the 'Spork' or
'Thuppa' was to appear
beneficial, but cause
disruptions while used.
