2011 Kitchen Tools Design Competition Invitation A good tool brings joy to the task. Nowhere is that more true than in preparing our meals.
Imagine: 1.8 million years ago our human ancestors first made tools, applying design thinking to solve daily frustrations. Those solutions helped them to survive and prosper, making food more accessible and―of huge significance―more tasty.
But improvement was slow. It took 2,500 years after it was invented in China before the fork showed up in the Middle East [ca. 600 AD] as a better way to hold food in place than a knife. And then, ah-ha! Fast forward 1000 years and the West starts to adopt it. A mere 150 years later, thousands of varieties are designed for specialized use.
But do breakthroughs really have to take that long?
