Taste again
Synesthetic Spoons is a project designed to improve the eating experience of those who have partially or completely lost their sense of taste. This topic is especially relevant as so many people have suffered from ageusia (lack of taste) as a result of Covid-19 during 2020.
But also those who went through an accident, cancer and other kind of diseases can see their sense of taste completely altered or damaged. Following the principles of gastrophysics we designed a set of spoons that, thanks to color and texture, psychologically influence the sense of taste.
Pink to boosts the perception of sweetness, sharp textures of bitterness and saltiness, etc. Bleeding edge technology such as nanotechnology would allow the same spoon to change color and texture with a simple flavor picker.
That way, depending on the dish in front of you, the spoon would morph to enhance the flavor of the food and, ultimately, bring back the joy of eating.
