Heavy Carafe

Wait until all are served before beginning to eat

 

The Heavy Carafe slows down the consumer’s actions before the meal through the natural addition of weight via the cement base containing a glass vase. The weight prevents the consumer from accessing the meal prematurely and forces them to wait to be served, creating a specific moment at which everyone can simultaneously commence the meal. Furthermore, the insulation properties of the cement base maintain the desired temperature of the meal within the carafe until it is served.
