Mirrored tableware tricks diners into thinking they're full



Visual trickery could be the key to reducing food consumption, according to Studio Playfool – who designed this range of mirrored tableware that makes your plate look twice as full.

Half/Full was designed by Saki Maruyama and Daniel Coppe – now known as Studio Playfool – for their graduation project from London’s Royal College of Art.

Made up of a series of mirrored tableware, the project aims to “future proof appetites” in relation to the looming prospect of future food shortages.

“In the near-future, the effects of climate change will take its toll on global food production,” said the designers. “When imagining a future that’s faced with greater food shortages, we need to ask how we might adapt our own appetites and lifestyle in the present.”
