Last Sunday, everyone's item vol.1 "Wooden plate to enjoy breakfast time" (description of this project is here ) was held for the second time.
This time, it's "thinking about the shape".
First of all, we asked participants to write a simple breakfast questionnaire. After that, along with a self-introduction, based on a questionnaire, I was asked to introduce the breakfast plate that I use on a daily basis. What to do before thinking about the shape of the plate is to look at the theme "breakfast". This time, a lot of living hands (users) are gathering, so you should be able to see a real breakfast scene. Using that strength as a starting point, we will share the points and image of the breakfast plate.

We were introduced to the tableware brought by everyone, along with scenes where they would be used, such as family composition, how they eat breakfast, the difference between breakfast on weekdays and weekends, the time of day, and what they eat.
There are about 10 participants, but of course there are various ways of living. Family composition, time of day to eat breakfast, time spent on breakfast, how to use tableware (shared plate or individual plate), menu to eat. As a result, the instruments used also varied.
gathered vessels.
It's all about the things that are actually lined up on everyone's breakfast table. It's hard to look back and share one scene of everyday life like this. I think it's a particularly fun and exciting part of the "Everybody's Tool" project. Where things and scenes of life overlap. Here are a lot of things that are really important when thinking about things in life.

By sharing scenes of daily breakfast, the atmosphere became relaxed and everyone got closer.
Next, based on what everyone had to say, we moved on to summarizing points about breakfast and breakfast dishes.

Of course, if you look at the details of the breakfast scene, it varies from person to person, but even so, under the conditions of the theme of this time, "a plate made of wood (24 cm, finished with olive oil)", an important point emerges.
The point of the vessel is not only during breakfast, but also during breakfast.
・Before eating Easy to hold when carrying from the kitchen. When serving, it does not become slanted and the side dishes are not mixed. For example, wieners do not roll.
- Easy to wash after eating. I want to make washing easier with one plate.
And so on, before and after eating is also an important point.

If the surface is flat, for example, even if a soft-boiled fried egg and salad with dressing are placed together, they will not mix. A small dip plate containing jam etc. is also placed.
By adding a rim and adding height, you can put liquids such as dressings on it.
Also, if there is a flat surface on the outermost side of the rim, it will be easier to carry with your fingers.
There were many things that I couldn't think of as being the only one, things that I didn't usually think about, but I could relate to, and there were a lot of points that made everyone nod their heads while chatting. Then, in order to give shape to that point, while comparing various sample vessels such as the vessels brought by everyone and Pint! . In this way, we all shared the point of the vessel and the image of the form that realizes it.

Next, let's actually draw a picture of the shape easily.
I prepared a piece of paper (card) about 24 cm (diameter; width when viewed from the side) x 3 cm (height) that resembles wood before sawing.
On this card, I drew a shape seen from the side.

On this card, I drew a shape seen from the side.
The image of the shape from the side that was in everyone's head has been aligned.
Since we shared the purpose and specification points in advance, the image is similar to some extent, but when you actually draw the shape, there are subtle differences. From this difference, a lot of hints will come out again.
While rearranging the cards for each item, such as the size of the ground contact area of the bottom, the angle of the rim, and the shape of the outer edge of the rim, everyone verified and examined each specification.
For example, when it comes to the size of the ground contact area of the bottom, I listen to the opinions of the people who drew it narrowly and the people who drew it wide, and then discuss it.

Specifications are determined one by one. The discussion was lively and the time flew by.
Part of the reason they asked me to draw an image was to actually turn it into a drawing, but the most important thing is to share the points that I had recognized in words with everyone as a concrete image. In the process, I was able to see issues that I could not imagine with words alone, and I was able to sort out the points that I could not narrow down, and the discussions became more concrete.
In reality, there is always a gap between a 2D drawing and a 3D wooden object.
In the next 3rd time, we will have Mr. Ogura, a craftsman, grind the gaps, give correction instructions in real time, and make adjustments by consulting with Mr. Ogura. This time (the 2nd time), the main purpose was to share the ideal image with everyone, and I think it was done very well.

After the end, here is the drawing that I drew together with Mr. Inoue of iichi , who was my assistant this time.
This year, the male to female ratio was almost the same. The point of ease of use for realistic usage scenes from the female perspective and the attention to the shape that realizes it from the male perspective are well matched, resulting in a very rich content. I think it's really great and full of valuable information.
The actual professional living hands (users) are really amazing. After all, I once again thought that the things in our daily lives are born naturally and strong from the hands of living. It's a deep content that I want buyers and designers to see.
Thank you very much to all the participating members. Thanks to you, it looks like it's going to be a great vessel! Finally, in the next third installment, we will actually give shape to this. Next time, Mr. Ogura, a woodturner, will bring a potter's wheel from Nagano Prefecture and make it in front of you. While touching, holding, and looking at the sample on the spot, we make corrections and adjustments to complete it. I'm so excited and can't wait. Dear members, I look forward to seeing you next time.
