“My Chopsticks Bra,” by Katherine Chu

Introduction

This product named “My Chopsticks Bra “, it is created by the feminine lingerie maker from Triumph International Japan. “My Chopsticks Bra” shapes by a pair of cups that resemble bowls of rice and miso soup, and a set of collapsible chopsticks that tuck into either side. The “My Chopsticks Bra” is the latest addition to Triumph’s line of concept lingerie designed to boost awareness of environmental issues. By using this bra, people can carry their own reusable chopsticks around, in order to help reducing the waste that disposable chopsticks bring to the.environment.

Areas for interaction:

- When people see the bra that the women is wearing, people will think about protecting the environment .

How is this good interaction design?

Trustworthy-

I think this design is very trustworthy because by using this product, it can reduce the negative impact that disposable chopsticks have on the environment.

Appropriate-

I think this product is highly questionable. How would a women take the chopsticks out from her bra at the table without causing the males in the restaurant staring at her ? Well, woman can take the chopsticks out in the washroom.


Smart-

I think it is definitely a smart design. Whenever you want to eat something that need to a tool for help, you can just take it out from your bra and without asking anyone . And also you don't need to worry about if the chopsticks from the restaurant are clean or not .

Clever-

It is a clever design for reducing the disposable chopsticks. Whether than putting chopsticks into the little pocket, you may also put your personal stuff into it , for example : tampon, comdom, money, cell phone, cigarette etc.

Ludic-

How people design the look of the bra is quiet interesting for me, I have ever seen a bra is decorated by a bowl of rice and moso soup. It is fun to look it.

Pleasurable-

It is a pleasurable product because it is a great idea for cutting down the number of disposable chopsticks in order to save more trees and only protect the environment.

Interesting Areas of the Design Process

I think the area that most suitalbe for me is creating the look of the bra.
