Fit to drop: Decanters with a scientific touch

The decanters were on display over the weekend as part of the Petite Friture collection at the Maison&Objet show in Paris. The funnel neck and eyedropper dispenser add a playful scientific look to the design, encouraging users to experiment with new ways to serve food.

This is a great example of adding a theatrical, participatory element to the dining experience. Consumers are increasingly interested in the process of bringing food to the table, and a scientific touch can be an effective way to engage with this trend. The product also has a sustainability angle: the figure 2822 refers to the number of plastic bottles thrown out every second in France.
