Prior to proposing this project to Rosti A/S videostudies of users revealed that mixing bowl are rarely held horizontally and almost never under the same angle. This was the starting point for a series of three mixing bowls loose anti-slip bases. They pour very well and the content is adapted to standard portions and recipes. There is hardly any difference in wall thickness so they are produced with almost no tensions which makes them more durable. In spite of all the advantages and critical acclaim they never became a commercial success.
a comment of
A McDougall-Weil :
The delight of combining tactile materials with a user-centered and carefully thought out design is obvious: especially when combined with an appealing aesthetic of functional beauty.
