Mind[Full]Ness: Mindful Dining Experience at NTU ADM Portfolio

MIND[FULL]NESS aimed to provide busy Singaporeans with an opportunity to engage in a session of mindful dining through the use of unconventional tablewares based in a conceptual restaurant. The experience is designed to address the problem of habitual multitasking during meal time by getting users to pay attention. By playing with the affordance of plates and bowl, the set requires one to be highly aware of their body movement during the plating, serving and most importantly, eating. With heightened consciousness, one may achieve, even if only for a time, serenity and inner peace by being in the moment.
