Your task is to redesign an everyday hand tool into a more pleasurable one that enriches and enhances the experiences of the user while engaging in its use. "Hand tool"refers to any utensil, device, instrument or gadget that is mainly hand-held, driven by manual force to facilitate work or to produce a certain result.

  1. you have quite a beautiful aesthetic form to your scoop, consider making the handle bigger for a more comfortable grip!

  2. I think your product turned out beautifully and the curvature of the spoon was executed well. Still, improvements could be made with the handle of the spoon, it seems a little small, it could be made wider so as to account for different hand sizes. It may be uncomfortable since it is such a small width.

  3. I love the curve of the handle and i think the overall look of the spoon is beautiful! However i do think that the head of the spoon could be changed to a less traditional shape? I do see how that could be hard as it is used for both eating and scooping ice-cream, but i thought it was worth a mention! Also as mentioned above, the handle looks quite thin and square, maybe you could have introduced a little more curve so it is more comfortable to hold.

  4. The concept is great. I like the organic form of the handle.
    I have to agree, the handle of the ice cream scoon can be improved a bit more, the beautiful curved line that shapes the handle is there if it is viewed from the side, but the handle is a bit thin and not wide enough. I also thought that the structure of the spoon is important, for example, some users like to lick the spoon at the end after a bite of the ice cream.

  5. I like how you came up with the concept. The organic design makes the product eye pleasing. However, I agree with the others that the handle can be improved. I think the handle is too thin and long. If it is too thin, I think users will not be able to put much force into the scooper well when they scoop hard ice-cold ice cream. So, I think the handle doesn't have to be long but should be thicker and rounded for efficiency and comfort.Also, the scoop part can be a little wider and bigger so that users can scoop more even though the product is for scooping and eating as well. I think the scoop part has to be bigger than a normal spoon.
