Chinese designer Giyun Deng is
the creator of graft — a set of disposable tableware referencing the
textured skins of fruits and vegetables. This ideal creation for kids is
made from a bioplastic derived from renewable resources. The series of
utensils is completely biodegradable, solving the environmental problem
typically prevalent in disposable products. The project blends the
texture and color of culinary items into the cutlery, visualizing their
source materials: the leaf of an artichoke becomes the bowl of a soup
spoon, a stalk of celery transforms into the handle of a fork, a
pineapple stem is the blade of a knife, and a whole carrot acts as the
grip of a small spoon.
The process began with the decision to use plant skin as a textural
medium. first, deng picked vegetables and fruits with special tactile
features and reproduced their skins with resin to find a proper
application. the textures were carefully copied to make sure they could
seamlessly interface with the 3D printed parts.
