Dinning in 2015

Have you ever wondered what dinning will be like in 2015? We do. And thankfully, there were designers who took part in the dinning in 2015 design competition. So here are the results from designboom, which hopefully, can give stimulate our imagination and give us a glimpse into what dinning will be like in 2015.

leaf-shaped spoon

Leaf-shaped spoon serves as a reminder to us about how important nature is, and to remember the blessings of nature. Interesting.

Design by : Shuhei Senda from Japan


Din-ink allows you to turn your office stationary into a cutlery pen by putting on a pen-cap, which includes a spoon cap, fork cap and knife cap. As it is made of 100% degradable material, it is environmentally friendly.

In 2015, it is likely that our current fast-paced lives will be faster. Maybe our already stressful lives will be more stressful. In our anger and stress, sometimes, we look for things to vent our anger. We could be tearing our dresses, breaking some furniture, etc. But what if you could break something which becomes useful? This ceremic salt and pepper shaker is the solution! Fragile comes as a piece, and after breaking the shaker into half, you make it useful. Also ideal for those living a stressful life.

Thoughts: These designs are beautiful. We love these designs. And as we were looking at these designs, there seemed to be two main themes that these products were designed. First is the environment. Mother Nature. Take a look at the Leaf-shaped spoon and Din-ink. The former wants to remind us of the blessings of nature whilst the latter uses bio-degradable materials. This leads to some questions we're asking ourselves. At 2015, what will the environment be like? Will the greenery be extinct?

The second theme has something to do with work and the fast paced stressful lifestyle that we're living. It seems that in 2015, our lifestyle will be so hectic that we may not even have the time to leave our work station. How will our lifetyle be in 2015?

Just some thoughts as we see these beautiful designs.
