皇家艺术学院毕业生Ponsawan Vuthisatkul设计了一系列食品餐具，目的是挑战人们的尺度感知。

这餐餐具名为“新常态（The New Normal）”，该系列的六件工具外形独特，尺寸别致，分别为两个超小型、一个小型、一个中型、一个大型和一个超大型。

Royal College of Art graduate Ponsawan Vuthisatkul has created a series of food serving tools that aim to challenge people's perception of portion sizes.
Called The New Normal, the collection features six tools of varying sizes; two extra small, a small, medium, large, and extra large.

Vuthisatkul解释说：“该项目参考了营养学家的观点，我们可以很容易地将食物与手的大小进行比较。例如，一拳的碳水化合物、一手掌的蛋白质、一大拇指的脂肪、一只手的水果、两只手的蔬菜等等。”

该项目希望能够替代传统的食物测量方法，如卡路里计数或数学测量，而Ponsawan认为这些方法的测量误差太大。

"This project uses the idea from nutritionists that we can easily compare food portion with the individual hand size," explained Vuthisatkul. "For example, a fist of carb, a palm of protein, a thumb of fat, a cupped hand of fruit, two hands of vegetable."
The project aims to pose an alternative to traditional food measuring methods like calorie counting or mathematical measurements, which Ponsawan believes can be easily misestimated.

Vuthisatkul告诉Dezeen的记者：“在我的研究中，我发现人们应该‘知道如何’养成健康的饮食习惯。我设计这些餐具是为了考量人们的日常饮食体验。”

“这些工具将帮助人们评估五大基本食物种类，然后形成记忆，长期以来改变饮食习惯。”

"From my research, I found that only 'knowing how' is not enough to create healthy eating habits. I designed these tools to intervene in people's everyday eating experience," Vuthisatkul told Dezeen.
"These tools will help people estimate five basic food groups and then form a new memory and change behaviour in long-term."

这位产品设计专业的毕业生通过研究表明，全球39%的成年人都超重。

Vuthisatkul说：“肥胖的一个主要因素是心理扭曲。人们往往认为饮食非常正常。”

The design products graduate based her project on research that shows 39 per cent of adults worldwide are overweight.
"One major factor in rising obesity is portion distortion, which means the growing portion size that people call normal," said Vuthisatkul.

她还注意到，她的许多泰国朋友在搬到英国后体重增加了10公斤。

她解释说：“英国的食物份量是泰国的两到三倍，因此我们就会吃下更多的食物。”

She also noticed that many of her Thai friends had gained up to 10 kilograms since moving to the UK.
"The food portion size in the UK is about two to three times bigger than in Thailand, and we respond to that by eating more," she explained.

她说：“这套餐具的设计灵感来源于营养学家的意见，他们说将食物和我们的手进行比较简直易如反掌。我认为这是非常有趣的想法，因为人们对于自己的手的尺度还是相对了解一些。”

餐具中四个碗都与手的形态相呼应，同时可以用来盛放食物。

The collection takes cues from nutritionists who say that we can easily compare our food portion size with our hand. "I think this is a very interesting idea because hands are always with us and easy to understand by everyone," she said.
According to Vuthisatkul, each of the four bowls in the collection is designed to correspond to a different hand form that can be used to hold the item.

“新常态”餐具在皇家艺术学院展出，是学生们的年度学位展览。其他毕业设计项目还有一系列帮助训练舞者肌肉的黄铜工具，还有为千禧一代设计的便携烹饪套装。

The New Normal was on show at the Royal College of Art as part of their annual degree show. Other graduate projects include a series of brass tools that aim to encourage muscle memory to help train dancers and a portable cooking set for kitchenless millennials.
