Slo-Cafe
Temporal Illusions: Distorting Our Perceptions Of Time
PROJECT
Out of 2,000 people surveyed, 50 percent mindlessly scroll during every meal. When people scroll and eat simultaneously, they get a double dopamine hit, causing their sense of subjective time to pass even faster. I designed Slo-Cafe, a dinnerware collection that stretches our subjective time through novel eating experiences. The dinnerware sets encourage users to dedicate effort to actively processing sensory information when we coordinate our muscle movement by requiring the use of both hands, eliminating the usage of phones during meals.
