When people of all ages and genders gather around the table together, they want to use the same tableware.

Because every last morsel can be scooped without lifting or tilting, this tableware can be used by everyone at the family table, from children to seniors living together.

The elegant and soothing colors of the tableware add color to the dining table.

In developing this product, our goal was to create tableware that can be used by the entire family. The resin material used is resistant to breakage even if a child accidentally drops it, and it is designed to be easy to use for seniors who have difficulty with fine hand movements. The beautifully finished surfaces, created with advanced lacquering techniques, complement the food and decorate the dining table.

The greatest feature of scoosy is "ease of use and design.

Reasons for the award (comments by the Good Design Award judging committee)

When you see it with your eyes, you may think it is porcelain, but when you hold it, you will realize that it is light and not porcelain. The surface looks completely like porcelain, and it has a very luxurious feel despite being made of plastic. The thickness of the rim is aesthetically pleasing by varying the thickness of the rim. In particular, the inside of the thicker rim is curved and weighted to make it easier to scoop the contents with a spoon. This attention to detail will be especially helpful for the elderly.
