Autonomy New Autonomy has been designed to make mealtimes easier for people losing their independence. Developed in collaboration with healthcare professionals, Autonomy is both technical and functional. The 230 and 190 plates, available in blue and red mesh, have a deep well to prevent food from spilling out of the plate, an optimised depth so that residents do not lift their cutlery and therefore their arm too much, and a bead to prevent their thumb from touching the food. The coloured version makes the food easier to see. The 27cl cup is just as functional, with an ergonomic shape that’s high and practical for drinking through a straw, and a wide lip to prevent ‘false routes’.
