Landscaped Tableware and Beakers
Lisa-Dionne Morris
Landscaped Tableware is designed
for the 10,000 people each year, in the UK, who experience a stroke,
but who still wish to live independent lives.
Many of these people want to use products that are stylish
and inventive but also function in the right way for them.
Lisa-Dionne’s plates have overhanging lips
for one-handed carrying,
combined with functional decoration for comfort
when handling and ease of use
The tableware on display represents design prototypes.
The new designs for glass and ceramic tableware
are to be launched in porcelain, and toughened glass
They should be available to buy in spring 2002.
Lisa-Dionne Morris studied design at the Royal
College of Art.
In 2001 she received both the Lord Snowdon Award for disability design
and the Lady Helen Hamlyn Award for An Ageing Population;
for Landscaped Tableware.
She will be featured in a forthcoming book “Creative Islands”,
written by Jon Sorrell, ex-chairman of the Design Council.
Lisa-Dionne is Senior Designer for “Gasp! Design”
designing more products for disabled people.
