LAFFAN
In reference to the original inspiration of a spoon, the leaf,
its organic shape is incorporated into the design.
Another influence was a traditional Chinese soup spoon
with its wide scoop and high swept handle.
By changing only a few parameters the second spoon originated from the first spoon, the Leaf Spoon. With it’s wide ladle and slim handle the original inspirations become visible.
3D printed from strong and flexible PA, it shares the property of translucency with the leaf. With respect to the light transmittance, the printing material (filament) used is similar to porcelain. Smoothing out the surface gave it a soft grip.

The final results of this project are two spoons that represent the derivation of the original spoon. The first spoon was what I called the Leaf Spoon for its characteristic impetus that shows in the lateral profile.

Those who suffer from burnout usually notice it only shortly before the nervous breakdown.
A state of persistent psychological and physical exhaustion, usually accompanied by the feeling of overburdening and reduced performance satisfaction.
One feels ‚burnt out‘.
Emotional emptiness, apathy, retreat from the social environment. Persistent lack of impulsion, indifference, boredom, passivity and depression.
To support normal breathing a plastic bag in the back upholstery can be used to inhale and exhale while it inflates like a pillow.
A button sewed in on the side activates a simulated cat’s purr. The sound and the vibrations as well as stroking the fur coated pillow will help one relax.
