Dinner set for seniors Vita

Product & Industrial Design

Marie-Magdaléna Kvěch Jiřenová

The dinner set is a comprehensive set of dishes made of porcelain, glass and silicone, which responds to the specific physical and psychological needs of seniors and people with limited mobility. The set includes ergonomically shaped plates and bowls with raised edges for easier scooping of food, lightweight borosilicate glass cups and variable silicone accessories that can be adapted to the individual limitations of the user. A distinctive element is the use of contrasting red color to support appetite and facilitate orientation for people with visual impairments, complemented by traditional decor that fulfills a motivational and haptic function. The developed solution, supported by testing in a geronto suit and consultations with doctors, offers an aesthetic and full-fledged alternative to commonly used plastic products in the care sector.
