DRINKING BOWL FOR CATS
User centered approach
Course work / prototype, 2019
Material: Ceramic
Size: 158 mm x 158 mm x 158 mm
Inspiration for this bowl was that the cats drank from a pitcher that was on kitchen table. First it was not a problem, but it became awkward when guests thought the pitcher was for their use. Therefore, I designed the bowl to separate it from the ones that people use. Additionally, I designed this bowl to specific size to enable cats to drink from it without leaning to the floor level. I also wanted to create beautiful sculptural piece that would look like design item instead typical ugly pet accessories. This is designed to enable a pleasant environment.
