 Case Study
(Tuva cutlery)

Scenario:
Cutlery is used every day but different people
hold their cutlery in different ways. Not all
cutlery is suitable for people with varying hand
sizes or grip strength. The aim was to design
attractive, new cutlery that could be suitable for
a wider range of people by making it easier to
handle.
 Approach

Lead Users
Initial Methods
Interviews with different lead users to build up background information

Additional Methods
Study of the placement of the cutlery in the hand and how each individual used
their fingers.

Evaluation
Based on the insights from the interviews and observations, sketch models were
prepared and tested with a selection of lead users.
 Result
The final concept was hollow handled cutlery
welded together from two parts resulting in a
fuller balanced grip without compromising the
weight or use of material. The cutlery can be
gripped in a number of different ways making it
easier for people with reduced mobility and grip
strength to use. By following a user-driven
approach throughout the design process it was
possible to create aesthetic cutlery that can be
used by everyone
