Context helps us to recognize the items we interact with on a daily basis. When we enter a familiar space that is poorly lit, chances are we would still recognize the items left on our kitchen tables as dishes or fruit, the pile on the desk in the office as papers and pens and the mound on the floor in the bathroom as a fallen towel. But what happens when we remove these items from their accepted settings and place them into a new roll? Will we recognize them so easily?
SateLight is the byproduct of an experimentation through vacuum forming where in I removed everyday objects, either the entirety of the item, or extracted a single defining characteristic, from it’s usual context to explore how these attributes can serve new roles and if the artifact is identifiable when out of context.

Function and form are principles that govern the way we design as well as the way we cook and eat. As the saying goes we eat with our eyes first and I believe the same is true of design. However the function of our proposed resolutions, which in this case is the way in which we go about cooking and then eating our food, is equally important for an outcome to be truly successful. Thus the question I asked myself was, can a plate be more than a vessel of form for serving? Does its function remain singular or perhaps it can play a role in both cooking and eating as a utensil as well as a dish.
