Product Design & Development on Condiments/Utensil Holders
Design Brief
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
A common problem observed in current dining or cooking situations is that there are plenty of cutlery or sauces on one's table.
It takes up extra space, thus limiting the table space of other items such as drinks or dishes.

Mr. Chen, the chef at his own restaurant, has trouble keeping his workstation clean and tidy.
He often misplaces his knives and spices.
This becomes a problem during lunch/dinner hours when the restaurant is packed as he might be unable to locate his knives or spices.

Scenario 2
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
Mr Tan is an owner of a restaurant.
He finds that there are too many items, such as the condiments and utensils, placed on the table, on separate trays.
This results in lesser table space for the dishes his customers are about to order.
It also increases the chance of his customers accidentally knocking an item off the dining table.
