Project

sweet cheese

multipurpose cultural tool

kaasschaaf en zoete lekkernijen schep ineen

It's a kitchen tool that can be used as a cheese slicer (kaasschaaf) and as a scoop for (arab)sweets. It's decorated with a cut out arabic calligraphy (yet to be determined) that enhances its cheese slicing function (cheese doesn't stick to it).

What makes your design Hema?

form, function and ornamention

What makes your design Hema?

the kaasschaaf (cheese slicer) is a must for every dutch household.

Who is your target market?

Everybody who likes cheese and sweets

How did you think of this idea?

I live in an area with a lot of arabic influences, the elhema competition made me think about ways to integrate the things I see around me, like the delicious sweets and cookies, in 'traditional' dutch products.

the design will have to be developed, material has to be determined.

What kind of help do you need in producing your design?

A mould will have to be made and the tool will have to be manufactured.
