Haptics of Cooking
The blind cooking tools designed by the haptic sense
and question our visually dominated perception
Haptic of Cooking is a series of blind kitchen tools designed by the experience of touch. Only from the perspective of sight, these tools might seem unusable. However, it is an inventive approach to improve the independence of blind life from a sensational inclusive perspective. The monopoly of vision is questioned through its absence and the tools bring to light that "seeing" is not only visual. It introduces a new understanding of functionality and aesthetic through haptic sense.
