Andreas Fabian, who has a phD in spoons, thinks that his Goûte spoon can make food taste better. It’s shaped like a teardrop glass wand. No doubt this will soon make the rounds in avant garde/hipster restaurants, but for now, we have our doubts. How do you… eat soup? Via Dezeen:
Design studio Michel/Fabian has created a spoon that claims to improve the flavour of food, by recreating the experience of licking your fingers.
The Goûte spoon is the result of years of research by Michel/Fabian co-founder Andreas Fabian into how the design of tableware can affect people’s perception of food and flavour, resulting in a PHD called Spoons and Spoonness.
The spoon has a tip shaped like a human finger, but its elongated overall shape makes it look more like a large icicle. It is designed for eating thick, creamy foods, similar to a honey dipper.
Fabian claims it makes food taste better, because it is more similar to the experience of licking your finger, rather than putting a strange object into your mouth.
