ABSTRACT
The proportion of the population who are overweight is constantly increasing; thus associated health problems are rising globally. There are many methods on how to encourage weight loss, e.g. physical activities, stress reduction, diets, however there have been few studies on how tableware design can change eating habits, and result in weight reduction. By using case analysis as a methodology, I studied three different tableware groups—cutlery, dishes and tableware accessories. In total 29 tableware items were included in the analysis. It was concluded that among the analysed cases form was the most often applied design technique- for weight reduction.
